2024 Arnot-Roberts Kirschenmann Vineyard Zinfandel, Lodi, California
$47.99
- The Kirschenmann vineyard site is located on an oxbow of the Mokelumne River just outside the tiny hamlet of Victor, California. The vineyard was planted in 1915 on its own roots and is primarily Zinfandel, with a few vines of Carignane, Cinsault and Mondeuse Noir spread throughout the block.
- Soil
- The soils here are a result of the erosion of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the east that have deposited loads of fine, sandy, granitic loam over the centuries.
- Viticulture
- Farmed using organic methods
- Vinification
- Fermented 100% whole cluster with native yeast, basket pressed, and aged in 360 gallon foudre and 1 neutral barrel for 10 months.

- Notes
- The 2020 is wonderfully balanced and fleshy, with elegant briary black fruits and a spicy acidity. Harvest date: 9/1.
