Grape(s): Zinfandel
Region: Lodi
For five generations, the Maggio family has been cultivating wine grapes in Lodi, providing top-tier California winemakers with exceptional fruit. In 2002, they ventured into winemaking themselves, utilizing the same estate-grown fruit they had long supplied to others. Their commitment to sustainable agriculture and winemaking excellence now proudly graces their own labeled bottles.
These wines originate from 500 acres of estate vineyards spread across the Lodi American Viticultural Area, nestled between the Sierra Nevada foothills and the San Francisco Bay. The region's Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm days and cool coastal breezes, offers an ideal environment for cultivating premium wine grapes. Some vines, aged over a century, bear fruit of intense flavor due to their unique terroir, resulting in wines that truly epitomize the essence of the land.
This wine displays ripe black fruit flavors with nuanced hints of jam and chocolate, characteristic of the vineyards tended by this family for generations. Delicately textured on the palate, culminating in a subtle, smoky finish.
