Wine Tours and Tastings
The Lodi winemaking industry has enjoyed tremendous expansion in the last decade. The land devoted to vineyards has increased from 46,000 acres in 1996, to nearly 100,000 today. Now the region produces more fine wine than Napa and Sonoma combined! The Lodi appellation is proudly blowing away the mists of anonymity that have shrouded local wines, allowing them to bask in the sunshine of worldwide recognition. We invite you to take a short ride and discover Lodi Wine Country for yourself.
Van Ruiten Family Winery "sideways" reserve 2008 zinfandel
This Zinfandel draws primarily from a wide selection of our oldest, most historic and shyest bearing Zinfandel blocks. The vines are planted on their own roots. The lots that we hand-selected are the result of sensitive farming practices. The 2008 “Sideways” Reserve Zinfandel shows wonderful dusty raspberry, blackberry, currant and with roasted coffee characters. Aging in new wood has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes.. Enjoy with your best cuts of beef and finest cheese. Individual lots of Zinfandel were harvested separately according to ripeness and balance of acidity. The wines were pressed off their skins at dry-ness and racked gently before being laid down to a complement of French oak cooperage for 15 months.
