Originally released in 1999 to celebrate the father of owners Michael and David Phillips, Lodi Red pays homage to the wine region in which the family has farmed for over 150 years and six generations.
“The Michael David team is excited about the release of Lodi Red, a classic favorite that many have enjoyed over the years. It was always popular in the tasting room, but with the package redesign, the decision was made to make this people-pleaser available nationwide,” explains Melissa Phillips Stroud, VP-Sales and Marketing for Michael David Winery. “Grandpa would be proud to see Lodi wine reaching consumers across the nation.”
Lodi Red is comprised of three of Lodi’s heritage varietals: Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Carignane. The winery describes Lodi Red as a medium-bodied, bistro-style red blend that opens with ripe berry and pecan aromas interlaced with flavors of huckleberry, cola and spice.
