Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfandel, Lodi County

Name: Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfandel, Lodi County
SKU: 7630

The reputation for Lodi as being one of the best areas of California for producing Zinfandel is increasing rapidly. The sandy soils have poor water retention properties resulting in low yields but great concentration in the grapes. This wine, from the 100-year-old Kettleman Road Vineyard is a superb example of Lodi ‘Zin’. Matured for 18 months in French oak, the wine has great power but also complexity and good ageing potential.

The Country

USA

Due to an extended, cooler growing season in 2019, grapes ripened with lower levels of sugar and a higher than average yield. The wines are full flavoured with fresh acidity and superb balance. The USA should not be overlooked for only producing full-bodied, powerful wines - there is so much more to discover beyond the stereotype.
