2020 Zinfandel
Tasting Notes
Our "Epicenter" Old Vine Zinfandel is chocolately and velvety on the palate with notes of vanilla. Almost like an Oreo cookie! Spice of white pepper and juicy mixed berry compliment the middle and the lingering finish is everything a zinfandel should be.
Heritage
The Mettler family heritage honors over 100 years and six generations of farming in Lodi with the release of this ‘Epicenter’ old vine Zinfandel. The size of the crop, the time spent on the vine, and the many months aged in French oak barrels all reflect the care our family took to fully express the potential of our estate vineyards.
Vineyards
These 50+ year old vines are located in the Mokelumne River sub-appellation, the ‘Epicenter’ of Lodi’s Old Vine Zinfandel district. The Lodi Appellation has more Old Vine Zinfandel than anywhere else in the world. These vines are certified sustainable through the Lodi Rules program.
