2023 Outrageous, Old Vine Zinfandel, Noma Ranch, Lodi
One sip, and you will know how this wine got its name. The winemaker himself personally managed a designated section of this 100+-year-old vineyard. He set strict limits on the crop load and was consulted if and when irrigation occurred. Labor-intensive practices of hand-leaf removal and dropping unwanted clusters of grapes ensured even ripening and perfect balance, especially if you enjoy elegant yet powerful wine and seamlessly integrated oak tannins. This Outrageous wine will make you proud to be “Stuck in Lodi."
