| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 11/25/2017 & rated 92 points: More Samples: Pale ruby color. I love the aromas of smoky charcoal, savory herbs and broth, grilled steak, on top of cherries, raspberry jam — wow! Full but smooth with fresh acidity and easygoing tannins, such balance. Crisp red cherries with raspberries and strawberry jam, laced with complex elements of rose hips, rhubarb, grilled herbs, pepperoni, bay leaf, cracked pepper. Complex, flavorful, balanced, delicious. Native yeasts, old oak, this is impressive Lodi Grenache. (898 views) | | | Tasted by Martin Redmond on 9/28/2016 & rated 91 points: Ruby color with perfumed red fruit, sweet spice (including an appealing kiss of cardomom), red licorice and lavender aromas. On the palate it's light-bodied, elegant, and concentrated with very good acidity and velvety tannins. It shows cherry, raspberry, cola and spice flavors with a bit of minerality showing up on a very giving finish. (1127 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 9/28/2016 & rated 91 points: Lodi Wine: Crisp and lively ruby color. Smells of ripe but tart plums and cherries with lots of smoke, tobacco, black pepper, rose petals and pickles – a seriously fun and intriguing bunch of aromas. Palate: Full-bodied with a fleshy but tart texture and lip-smacking acidity and medium-soft tannins. Tart raspberries mix with juicy cherries and red plums. I get lots of smoke, charcoal, tobacco, white pepper and herbal tea notes. Such a food-friendly, pleasant but flavor-packed wine. Gorgeous stuff for those tired of extracted, heavy Grenache.

| Grenache Varietal character (Appellation America) - Read more about GrenacheUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Valley The Central California Winegrowers (Official site) | Central Valley (California Wine Institute)Lodi Lodi Woodbridge Winegrape Commission | Lodi District Grape Growers Association |
