Flavor Profile
Welcome to Lodi. Known as the Zinfandel capital of California—and arguably, the world—this premium region is home to the Golden State’s oldest Zin vines and won Wine Enthusiast’s coveted Region of the Year title. Thanks to its ideal location (which delivers long, sunny days and cooling coastal breezes) and those low-yielding, ancient vines (which produce super-rich, concentrated flavors), Lodi really is the place to grow Zin.
So it should come as no surprise that the winemaking team behind Capital Z turned to Lodi grapes. They scooped the perfect parcel from one of the region’s leading growers (a fantastic, friends-only price, as long as they didn’t reveal the name), made all the richer by Lodi’s great 2021 vintage. Previous releases have won medals at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, and this 2021 vintage has continued the history of acclaim—earning 97 points, a double-gold medal and Best of Class award.
In the glass, look forward to layers of velvety, mouthfilling red-and-black fruit, plus subtly sweet spice notes. With its intense flavors, Capital Z makes a delicious match for equally flavorful dishes: barbecued meats, grilled veggies, hearty winter stews and more.
If you’ve yet to discover Lodi’s bold Zins (or are ready for another taste), Capital Z will be an impeccable introduction. Secure your share today.
