From dry-farmed, old-vine plantings planted on well-drained, loamy soils in the rolling hills of Lodi, this Zinfandel reflects the warmth and diurnal swing of the 2021 season with vivid fruit and lively acidity. The year’s steady ripening delivered concentrated blackberry and raspberry, cracked black pepper, licorice, and a hint of earthy spice, wrapped in supple tannins. Made in a focused, vineyard-driven style, the wine is generous but balanced, finishing long with a savory, slightly dusty mineral edge that speaks to its site.
