Flavor Profile
In each adaptation of Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday novella, A Christmas Carol, the leading man has made a unique mark on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge and the story’s greater legacy. Similarly, the grape varieties in this luscious California red weave together to create a complex, rich wine.
Far from the busy streets of London, Lodi is “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Here, the warm climate is tempered by morning fog, helping prolong the grapes’ ‘hang time’ on the vine for extra-concentrated flavors.
If you could bottle holiday cheer, it might just taste like this special red—brimming with black plum, blackberry jam and hints of cocoa. Smooth and warming, it’s best enjoyed by the fireplace or with a hearty meal (like Mrs. Cratchit’s roast goose).
Delicious enough to make any Scrooge smile...though, they might say ‘Bah humbug’ when the bottle’s empty. Load up your sleigh today.
Classic Movie Pairing: A Christmas Carol (1951)
Charles Dickens’ classic tale of Christmas time redemption has been adapted to the big screen more than 25 times. Fans may argue about the best version, from staid British drama to full-blast Muppet musical, but there is no debate that this 1951 interpretation set a high bar. Starring Alastair Slim, who would define the role of Scrooge for all performances that would follow, it has become standard fare for holiday movie lovers.
