About this product
Old-vine Garnacha from Lodi's cooler Delta sub-zone — bush-trained century-old vines producing a California Garnacha of remarkable freshness and elegance. Vibrant red with strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs, white pepper, and a silky texture that speaks of the Sandy Delta soils. Organically farmed and minimally intervened, this wine demonstrates Lodi's potential for varieties beyond Zinfandel with genuine finesse and food-pairing versatility.
