Moving outside of Lodi, Sloth, is a Mendocino Zinfandel.  For those of you who are familiar with the area can understand the slow, laid back culture the people in Mendocino have come to live.  So it’s only fitting that Sloth is matched up with this wine.  A 27 year old hillside vineyard in southern Mendocino near Hopland, CA.  Longtime farming family Nelson vineyards owns and manages this ranch. A very famous Sonoma clone, Paccini, is the bud wood source of this Zinfandel. Cole loam soils that inhibit production keeping the tonnage under 4 tons/acre and help exhibit structured spicy terroir of the area. Our winemaking team is continuing to produce top quality wines not only from Lodi, but also carry that same winemaking style towards other top Zinfandel regions in California.

Aromas of summer berries and all spice, followed by flavors of raspberries, chocolate covered cherries, cinnamon, and white pepper.
