2022 Wildeye Winery Zinfandel, Lodi, CA

The 2022 vintage was ideal for producing high quality, fruity and elegant wines. With dry spring, temperatures remaining constant through bloom resulting in a very good fruit set for Zinfandel. Warm weather during the day and cool nights allowed for fruit to mature at a normal rate, from bud break, to berry set, to harvest. There were no wildfires that endangered the fruit during the growing season.

Picked in the cool morning, crushed to stainless steel fermenters, fermented warm and to dryness, pressed skins to tank. 100% Malolactic fermentation. Aged in oak barrels, 50% American oak and 50% French oak barrels to finish. Bottling winter of 2022.
