Matzin Zinfandel Lodi Estate(2006)

2006 was an outstanding vintage in the Lodi area. Cool late summer and early fall temperatures allowed the fruit to fully mature on the vine. The grapes were hand picked at the Locust Tree Vineyard, then hand sorted at the winery. Fermentation was completed in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks utilizing specialty yeasts (D-254 and D-80) to further develop the bright berry and cassis aromas. It was aged 15 months in new and older French and American oak barrels. Prior to bottling, the wine was fined and filtered.
Locust Tree Vineyard planted in 1943.
