Lodi is one of the most underrated Wine Appellations in California. This Gold Medal and Best of Class winner at the prestigious 2006 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, shows why.Hard by the sandy shores of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta, the agricultural town of Lodi is home to a lot of old Zinfandel vines. It's considered a warm region, but its location, directly in line with the Golden Gate, brings daily afternoon breezes that soften the summer temperatures. Combine this with ancient vines in alluvial soil where roots grow very deep, and you've got a formula for ripe, lush Zin that's also concentrated and intense. Soft, round, spicy and jammy with voluptuous overtones of plums and blueberries, this wine lives large — and irresistible — in the here and now.Flavor Profile:    Bursting with concentrated blueberry and spice flavorsComposition:      84% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 2% Mixed BlacksAppellation:        LodiAging:                 18 months in French oak, 30% newSkin Contact:     10 to 15 daysTotal Acidity:      0.65pH:                       3.57Alcohol:               14.5%Ageability:           Drink now or in 3 to 5+ years
