2013 Old Vine Zinfandel - Celebrating 100 Years
On December 16, 1913, Carl and Katharina Jenner purchased their first vineyard East of Lodi. One hundred years and four generations later, the Jenner family still produces Zinfandel grapes on the Alpine Road property.
For this commemorative vintage, we hand selected one ton of the best clusters from our 35 year old vines and aged the wine in new American oak for 17 months to achieve a true expression of the vineyard

2021 Harold's Reserve Zinfandel
Harold Jenner was the quintessential mid-century Lodi man. A World War II veteran who fished in the Delta, camped in the Sierras, hunted in his vineyards, farmed on the weekends, and managed winery operations during the week, he loved every minute of living in Lodi.
For this special reserve wine that honors a life well lived, we chose grapes from the vineyard surrounding Harold's home, made the wine on his hundredth birthday, and aged it in new French oak barrels from the country he helped liberate in 1944.

2022 Opal's Table Chenin Blanc
When I was growing up on the ranch, Opal Jenner always had a bottle of Chenin blanc on her Thanksgiving table. I remember sneaking a taste of that dry, crisp, clean, fragrant white wine with hints of lemon and pear. Back then, Lodi farmers grew twice as much Chenin blanc as any other white grape. As the market changed in the 1980's, Chenin blanc vineyards all but disappeared.
This year, we were lucky to get premium grapes from an amazing vineyard in nearby Clarksburg. This wine takes me back to Opal's table and reminds me of the days when we drank real wine.

Sandy Loam Blend Zinfandel (non-vintage)
Our deep sandy loam soil makes Lodi the perfect place to grow world-class old vine Zinfandel. Over decades, our vines can send their roots as deep as six feet, creating large, complex, gnarly wood structures that store tons of carbs over the winter. In the spring and early summer, these vines push all that sugar and flavor out to the berries, which we hand-select for our small batch single-vineyard wines. This special blend showcases two unique vintages of our old vine Zinfandel that were aged in both American and French oak.

Basque Brothers Red Wine Blend (non-vintage)
Though Basques have lived in California for four hundred years, most started migrating here in the 1800s. For young men from the Pyrenees Mountains, shepherding in central California was a way to parlay a few years of hard work into a better life. My grandfather emigrated to Stockton from Navarre in the early 1900s to work in his cousin's boarding house, where he helped provide a home away from home--and plenty of wine--for his Basque brothers when they came in from the pastures. This wine honors Stockton's ostatuak and is worth of any bota bag.

2022 Zinfandel
What do you do with all that leftover wine? After finishing our Sandy Loam and Basque Brothers red blends, we had a lot of wine still in the barrels. We threw it all together in a tote and added some Petite sirah. We bottled it without labels to sell it off for cost to get rid of it. Then we tasted it. Wow! A huge, bold, fruity, jammy, traditional Lodi Zin with a Spanish flair. It won the blind tasting of our three 2024 red blends. This will be a great entry-level wine at the perfect price point for those new to Lodi Zinfandel.
