The Specialyst Lodi Zinfandel 2018
Product Description
The 2018 growing season was one of the few that can be described as
“normal”. Though the previous winter had above average rainfall, budbreak
was later than normal. Weather was moderate throughout the season, with
a typically hot July and a slightly cooler August. This gave the fruit time to
ripen evenly and fully, setting the stage for a balanced, expressive wine.
W INEM A K ING
The Zinfandel grapes were harvested in the last two weeks of September and
the Petite Sirah in the second week of October. Both varietals were fermented
to dry in stainless steel tanks. After a 6 day maceration to extract the classic
varietal characteristics, wine was pressed off of skins followed by a full
malo-lactic fermentation. The Specialyst Zinfandel aged in a combination of
American and French oak barrels (30% new) that were perfectly matched to
each vineyard’s character for 9 months.
