Threaded Tale
Merlot
A round, full body with saturated flavors of stewed black fruit and festive baking spices position our Threaded Tale Merlot on the riper side of its varietal spectrum. This adaptable grape can create austere wines that present fresh red fruits or, in this case, can weave a delectable narrative of rich, dark fruit flavor. Merlot's story began in the historical region of Bordeaux, where it is still highly revered as one of the region's Noble Grapes. Its journey to the New World began upon its arrival to California in the mid-1800s. Since then, Merlot has been planted throughout the state's sun-soaked vineyards. Lodi's Mediterranean climate provides ideal conditions for this variety to thrive with warm daytime temperatures, cooling afternoon breezes, and rocky, well-drained soils.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Lodi](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/2745/normal/California_Central_Valley.png?1616011053)
Lodi
The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
