About This Wine


Wyethia Flame

Malbec Blend

With fresh herbal aromatics and mulled fruit flavors, our Wyethia Flame Malbec Blend makes the ideal fireside wine. This complex blend is dark fruited and rustic, differentiating it from many of the other Malbec-driven wines you may have tried. This flavor profile is a timeless example of Californian terroir. The historic soils of Lodi ensure peak ripeness levels in the vineyard at harvest. Throughout the day, large stones on the soil’s surface gather heat from the sun. When cool nighttime temperatures blanket the vineyard, these rocks continue to radiate heat onto the fruit from below, extending the ripening period into the night. This results in perfectly plump, ripe fruit and, in turn, a wine with rich flavor and delectable sweetness. Our Malbec Blend is the ideal wine to grab for evening gatherings surrounded by good friends and hearty stews. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.
