Sipsy
A vibrant, sweet bouquet greets the senses, weaving together ripe raspberry jam with a touch of caramel and a whisper of cinnamon toast. The nose invites you in with a luminous fruit core, bright and inviting, while delicate toasty notes mingle with hints of vanilla and roasted sugar, creating a warm, comforting fragrance that suggests both concentration and approachability. On the palate, the wine delivers a lush, fruit-forward profile that rests on a foundation of elegant oak integration. The caramel sweetness lingers, balanced by a whisper of spice and a subtle, mineral-driven backbone that keeps the sweetness in check. Silky tannins unfold, smoothing each sip and lending a refined structure that supports rather than dominates the fruit.
The texture is polished and generous, with a medium-full body that carries the flavors smoothly across the palate. The oak dosage feels integrated rather than overt, adding dimension through toasted nuances and a gentle resinous note that enhances the wine’s long, satisfying finish. As the glass opens, you’ll notice a consistent thread of wild berry fruit that feels unrestricted and vivid, characteristic of Lodi’s fruit-forward style. The finish carries a lingering sweetness tempered by bright acidity, ensuring balance and drinkability. This wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from roasted poultry and caramelized vegetables to a cheese platter featuring tangy blue or creamy brie. It offers an inviting entrée into a wine region known for its generous fruit and expertly crafted winemaking. Lodi’s unrestricted wild berry fruit shines through, harmonizing with the caramel and cinnamon toast accents to create a memorable, richly expressive sipping experience.
