    Winemaker Notes

    Zinfandel has always been the quintessential California wine, taking on the characteristics of the wine regions where it is grown. Zinfandelic, with its groovy labels that are inspired by the psychedelic rock posters of the 1960s, captures the spirit of California Zinfandel. Lodi, the self-proclaimed "Zinfandel Capital of the World", is home to some of the finest Zinfandels in California.

    The distinctive characteristics of Lodi are reflected in Zinfandelic's 2012 Lodi Zinfandel. Deep garnet colors are reflected in the glass. The nose greets you with rich aromas of red fruit and hints of vanilla and pepper. The wine boasts lush berry fruit flavors that are accented by cocoa, pepper, and vanilla. The medium body features soft, integrated tannins that linger on the long finish. Zinfandel is an extremely versatile wine that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. We recommend firing up the grill and enjoying this Zinfandel with a grilled tri-tip steak.

    "Zinfandelic is a tribute to personal love for the 1960s rock music and the free expression of the Zinfandel grape. Each wine is crafted as it's own song, to be enjoyed and shared with others." - Daniel LeFrancois

    Daniel LeFrancois started Zinfandelic with the vision of creating a true California wine focused around California's quintessential varietal, Zinfandel. With a label inspired by the psychedelic rock posters of the 1960s, Zinfandelic captures the spirit of Zinfandel, California's quintessential wine. Zinfandelic's labels are a reflection of the posters that captured that era - Flower Power, Haight-Ashbury and Psychedelic Rock. Just as the hippy cultural movement was making its way out of California and into the rest of the world, so too was Zinfandel wine.

    Since their first vintage in 2005, the Zinfandelic collection has grown to feature Zinfandel wines that expressions of the region, soil and climate from where they are sourced. The high altitude old vines of the Sierra Foothills are expressed through an earthier wine with bramble vine notes. Lodi, the "Zin Capitol of the World," features lush fruit flavors. While Mendocino's coastal influence delivers a robust, full-bodied Zin.

    While you might not be able to go back in time to the Summer of Love, enjoy California through a wine that captures the spirit of a memorable generation.

    Unapologetically bold, spice-driven and jammy, Zinfandel has secured its title as the darling of California vintners by adapting well to the state's diverse microclimates and landscapes. Born in Croatia, it later made its way to southern Italy where it was named Primitivo. Fortunately, the imperial nursery of Vienna catalogued specimens of the vine, and it later made its way to New England in 1829. Parading the true American spirit, Zinfandel found a new home in California during the Gold Rush of 1849. Somm Secret—California's ancient vines of Zinfandel are those that survived the neglect of Prohibition; today these vines produce the most concentrated, ethereal and complex examples.

    California

    Positioned between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the Lodi appellation, while relatively far inland, is able to maintain a classic Mediterranean climate featuring warm, sunny days and cool evenings. This is because the appellation is uniquely situated at the end of the Sacramento River Delta, which brings chilly, afternoon “delta breezes” to the area during the growing season.

    Lodi is a premier source of 100+ year old ancient Zinfandel vineyards—some dating back as far as 1888! With low yields of small berries, these heritage vines produce complex and bold wines, concentrated in rich and voluptuous, dark fruit.

    But Lodi doesn’t just produce Zinfandel; in fact, the appellation produces high quality wines from over 100 different grape varieties. Among them are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc as well as some of California's more rare and unique grapes. Lodi is recognized as an ideal spot for growing Spanish varieties like Albarino and Tempranillo, Portugese varieties—namely Touriga Nacional—as well as many German, Italian and French varieties.

    Soil types vary widely among Lodi’s seven sub-appellations (Cosumnes River, Alta Mesa, Deer Creek Hills, Borden Ranch, Jahant, Clements Hills and Mokelumne River). The eastern hills are clay-based and rocky and in the west, along the Mokelumne and Cosumnes Rivers, sandy and mineral-heavy soils support the majority of Lodi’s century-old own-rooted Zinfandel vineyards. Unique to Lodi are pink Rocklin-Jahant loam soils, mainly found in the Jahant sub-appellation.
