Lodi California is an ideal location for Zinfandel. Warm days and cool evenings provide the perfect environment to ripen the complex fruit perfectly. It is a unique grape that cannot be compared to many for aromas, texture, or length of flavor. To maximize flavor, grapes are harvested at their peak ripeness. While it is important to obtain proper sugar and corresponding ‘warm’ alcohol levels, the real essence of Zinfandel is the complex notes of spices, plums, and ‘earthiness’.
Profile
Bold and lush with cherry and plum dominating the bouquet followed by aromas of crushed black pepper. Boysenberry, wild strawberry, and cola fill the palate. The Pier finishes with subtle oak nuances.
Pair
The Pier is delicious with Spaghetti and Meatballs, Barbecued Baby Back Ribs, Beef Kabobs and Hamburgers. Feta, Gruyere and Havarti make excellent cheese accompaniments.
