"The 2021 Zinfandel Royal T is gorgeous Zinfandel based field blend. Dark Cherry, menthol, sage and dried herbs all grace this nuanced, super-expressive Lodi wine. The vines planted in 1889 yield a Zinfandel of real character."
Vinous
The Zinfandel vines at Royal T were originally planted in 1889, and are co-planted with small amounts of heritage varieties including Mission, Flame Tokays, Black Prince, and Carignane. The wine was made with semi-carbonic fermentation, 100% whole-cluster and native yeasts. The wine was matured for 10 months in neutral oak barrels before bottling.
