More about this wine from Lodi, California
Only in America would a Dutch immigrant procure California vineyards and blend European grapes with California Zinfandel! This clash is making American juice even greater and the Van Ruiten clan has been doing it in Lodi, CA since the 1950s. The Zinfandel in this bottle comes from some of the oldest, most well-respected vines in the region.

In addition to the Zinfandel, this red wine has a blend of Merlot, Carignan and Primitivo. Carignan is a red grape native to Spain but is now primarily grown in France. Primitivo actually comes from the same ancestor as Zinfandel - a Croation grape called Crljenak - but the two have come to have very slight differences. This blend is well-structured and flavorful, bursting with ripe, red fruit and a hearty dash of warm, wintery spices.
