Joel Gott Wines exemplifies California's diverse terroir through thoughtful vineyard selection across multiple regions. The Zinfandel blend sources primarily from Lodi's northeastern hills and Sierra Foothills, where historic head-trained vines grow in stony, well-draining soils. The Borden Ranch's distinctive rocky terrain promotes robust vine development, while Contra Costa's unique terroir adds layers of complexity to the final blend.
This robust Zinfandel presents a vibrant bouquet of brambleberries and red currants, harmoniously balanced with maple sugar and vanilla notes. The palate opens with fresh fruit intensity, transitioning to plush, velvety tannins and concluding with a lingering spiced finish that makes it an ideal companion for bold, flavorful dishes like birria tacos or Korean BBQ.
