The 2021 vintage in Lodi benefited from a warm, dry growing season that produced small, intensely concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This wine takes Lodi's signature bold, ripe black fruit character and marries it with the distinct influence of charred bourbon barrels. The Mediterranean climate of Lodi, characterized by warm days and cool breezes from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, allows the grapes to develop deep color and robust tannins. The subsequent aging process in seasoned bourbon casks infuses the wine with rich layers of toasted oak, caramel, and warm baking spices, creating a dramatic, full-bodied profile that pushes the boundaries of traditional California Cabernet.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Inspired by the year the Indelicato family planted their first California vineyards during the Prohibition era, the 1924 wine brand is a tribute to bold, rebellious winemaking. Produced by Delicato Family Wines near the historic Lodi winegrowing region, the brand focuses on crafting rich, full-bodied red wines that capture the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Utilizing select fruit from Lodi's sun-drenched vineyards, 1924 is highly regarded for its intense, deeply colored expressions, most notably its Double Black Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon, which undergoes aging in charred oak barrels to impart distinct notes of caramel, toasted oak, and spice.
