My grapes are harvested predominantly from vineyards in the Lodi area in
California’s Sacramento River Delta. Lodi has emerged as a star for producing
intense, fruity Zin with ripe berry flavours. Grapes are cooled off on warm
Central Valley days by the breezes off the Delta, extending the growing
season and adding layers of flavour. After fermentation, a gentle pressing of
the must is essential for getting additional flavour and colour, while avoiding
the overly drying tannins found in the seeds. The full malo-lactic conversion
softens the acids and add complexity to the nose. The wine is aged on oak at
cool temperatures until it is ready for the final blend.
