Warm days and cool evening breezes (marine influences) create a uniquely Mediterranean climate perfectly suited to cultivating California's top varietals- Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. While all these grapes thrive here, Zinfandel is a singular phenomenon. Old vines, some over 120 years old, gnarled and sculpted by time, yield small amounts of fruit to create a wine that is the ultimate expression of the terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur community includes multi-generational families of winemakers and growers. The area also attracts a new generation of vintners who see the opportunities for crafting great wines while setting down their own roots in a nurturing environment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese growers and winemakers helped establish Lodi as an official American Viticultural Area (AVA), with 7 distinct growing regions in 1996. The area's commitment to sustainable, environmentally-friendly agricultural practices is an exemplar for the entire California wine industry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/collections\/wineries-purple-paws.oembed","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
