Oak Ridge Zinfandel AV Estate Lodi

Lodi is arguably California's most important Zinfandel region — a warm, flat inland valley east of San Francisco where old-vine Zinfandel thrives in the sandy loam soils and long, warm growing season. Oak Ridge Winery has deep roots in Lodi, farming estate vineyards that capture the grape's naturally generous expression. The AV Estate Zinfandel delivers Lodi's signature character: full-bodied and warm, with ripe blackberry, plum, dark cherry, and black pepper spice, generous fruit sweetness on entry, and a long, spicy, jammy finish. A classic California Zinfandel built for grilled and barbecued foods.
