About This Wine

Wyethia Flame

Merlot - Cabernet Sauvignon

Great wines don’t always come from great traditions, and in the new world, some of the most impressive creations come from those not afraid to take risks. Enter the winemakers at Wyetha Flame, who’ve used their passion and know-how of Californian wine to bring forth this unique blend with the best balance of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from the hot growing climate of Lodi, California which encourages the grapes to develop a full expression of each varietal.

Wine Region

Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
