US 1924 Double Black Lodi California Zinfandel Red Blend
The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.
Crafted using grapes from select vineyards throughout Northern California, specifically from the Lodi region. Lodi’s climate is ideal for growing concentrated, full-flavored grapes—well draining sandy soil, warm summer afternoons and cooling nighttime breezes from the Pacific Ocean.
