Viticulture
This Old Vine Zinfandel is sourced from two historical vineyards
– Arbor Vineyard and Fathom Ranch – both located in the Mokelumne River AVA, a sub-appellation of the Lodi AVA that is home to more Old Vine Zinfandel vineyards than any region in the U.S. The heritage, head-trained Zinfandel vines in these low-yielding vineyards range from 60 to over 100 years old, with roots that reach deep into well-drained, sandy loam soils. With a Mediterranean climate featuring warm, sunny days and evenings cooled by breezes off the Sacramento River Delta, the Lodi AVA has long been recognized as one of the finest AVAs for growing intensely flavored Zinfandel. Certified sustainable under the highly respected Lodi Rules for Sustainable Farming program, these vineyards promote biodiversity, soil and water health, and community and employee well-being.
Winery Description
Boneshaker is a robust, full-throttle “old vine” Zinfandel from Lodi, California, a region known for its warm growing season and sandy soils. The main source of this Zinfandel, the Bruella Vineyard, is home to vines over sixty years old. Sustainably cultivated by the Mettler family, a fourth generation Lodi grower, these gnarled old vines produce fewer clusters and small berries with intense sugar, color, and a high concentration of bold fruit flavor.
