Monte Rio | Old Vine Zinfandel 2022
Lodi's best-kept secret, made in the spirit of old California. Monte Rio sources Zinfandel from vines ranging from 85 to 120 years old in the Clements Hills, harvesting whole cluster and fermenting via carbonic maceration — a technique that produces remarkably fresh, unforced fruit. Four days in stainless steel, then pressed and aged further in tank. No sulfur added. Boysenberry and huckleberry on the nose, with orange cream, maple, and clove, dry supple tannins, and a silky finish. Pair with lamb shank, braised short ribs, or simply decant and let it breathe.
