Winemakers and journalists taste and talk about aged Lodi wines, up to 27 years old
Zinfandel from Turley's 2010 Dogtown Vineyard harvest, going into a bottling tasted and discussed this past week, nearly 14 years later. Last week (May 14, 2024) a most unusual Lodi tasting (even for us!) was conducted, per the request of four visiting journalists representing Wine Enthusiast magazine: Tonya Pitts (Contributor, Wine Reviewer), Anna Christina Cabrales (Tasting Director), Sara Ventiera (Senior Digital Editor) and Anthony Eyzaguirre (West Coast Advertising Account Manager). We tasted 14 Lodi-grown wines from vintages going back as far as 1997 (coming up on 27 years old). The visiting editors were curious about two things: 1) do Lodi wines age well?, and 2) if so, how?
