Mettler Vineyards

Mettler Vineyards produces Zinfandel from established Lodi estate vineyards, showcasing the variety's affinity for the region's warm climate and diverse soils. The family operation maintains old-vine blocks alongside newer plantings to create complex Zinfandel expressions.

Their Zinfandel wines demonstrate the concentration and spice character that develops in Lodi's Mediterranean climate, with fruit from vines of varying ages contributing complexity to the final blends. The vineyard's sandy loam soils and careful canopy management produce grapes with intense flavors while maintaining natural acidity. These wines offer classic California Zinfandel character with authentic estate fruit expression.
