Zinfandel is California's
grape, and in Lodi Zinfandel is the king. Nestled between the Sierra Foothills
and the San Francisco Bay Delta Lodi offers the ideal climate for producing
ripe full-flavored Zins. Sitting at the edge of the Sacramento/San Joaquin
Delta Lodi benefits from the distinctive bay delta breezes that cool the region
in the afternoon and evenings creating characteristic Lodi Zinfandel - ripe
forward fruit with soft polished tannins.
Dating back to the late
1800's, Lodi has a long proud history of producing some of the finest Zinfandel
grapes in the state. These distinctive vineyards which survived prohibition by
being packed and shipped east for home winemakers, and survived through the
planting booms of the 70's and 80's by filling the tremendous growth for White
Zinfandel, are now emerging as some of the finest Zinfandel wines being
produced in California. Growers, vintners, and consumers from around the world
are quickly discovering the distinctive character of Lodi Zinfandel.
