Monte Rios Royal T from Lodi is a beautiful representation of these ideals. Sourced from one of the oldest Zinfandel vineyards in the world, planted in 1889, this vineyard is a testament to California’s renowned Zinfandel heritage. While predominantly dedicated to Zinfandel, the vineyard also includes old heritage varieties like Mission, Flame Tokay, Black Prince, and Carignane. The resulting wine is a field blend, co-fermented to showcase bright red and black fruits with a velvety backdrop of spice and savory tones. Highlighting Patricks expertise, this wine is masterfully crafted and beautifully balanced.
