Predator Six Spot Red Blend

WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE VINE IS GOOD FOR THE WINE 2018 Six Spot Red Wine, Follows a holistic approach in winemaking. Some farmers believe that finding a ladybug with six spots signals a bountiful harvest. And, since ladybugs consume crop-damaging aphids, even the least supersticious grower welcomes them, six-spotted or not. Six Spot Red Wine is crafted from grapes grown in the renowned Lodi Appellation. Lodi, California is ideally situated between the Sierra Foothills and the San Francisco Bay Delta and benefits from cool afternoon and evening breezes, producing world-renowned red varieties. The 2018 harvest allowed the fruit to ripen at a slow and steady paceresulting in fruit with exceptional concentration and balance. Our winemaking team blened a selection of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Malbec to craft this expressive and balanced red wine. Our Commitment to sustainable growing practices helps ensure the health and vitality of our select vineyards. Natural Predation is an eco-friendly strategy to control harmful critters in the vineyards. Ladybugs, a natural insect predator, along with predator mites, feed on destructive aphids. Ladybugs would suggest pairing this Red Wine with fresh aphids or mites – but we recommend short ribs or a delicious Osso Buco.
