Oak Farm Zinfandel

Bold in color this Lodi Zinfandel has aromas of earthy eucalyptus and cedar. It has an elegant mouthfeel with flavors of dark fruit ending with a bright, rich, and structured finish. grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently sorted and destemmed. They were then transferred to a temperature controlled stainless steel tank for a cold soak. The must was inoculated and fermentation was done both in tank and with regular timed pump overs. This wine was aged for eight months in 28% New French and American oak barrels, the balance was aged in neutral oak barrels. Before bottling the two vineyard lots were combined and some Petite Sirah was added to strengthen the color and structure
