The Mediterranean climate of Lodi (warm days and cool nights) produces rich dark flavors with bright acidity. Soils are very deep. Roots are well established and produce a large canopy. To facilitate an evenness of ripening, leaves around the clusters are removed allowing sunlight to shine on berry skins. Canopy vigor is managed through deficit irrigation. The result is a well-balanced richly flavored Cabernet.
Philosophy
There are many unsung heroes in the respected world of wine: harvest workers, tank washers, cork soakers, but none are more undervalued than the humble wine critic. Without them we wouldn't know what to drink, we wouldn't know good wine from bad, rest assured this bottle has been scored ninety six points by the prestigious "Chumlea-Hill". Pour yourself a glass and taste the recognition.
A tongue and cheek approach, but serious quality wine.
