Predator Old Vine Zinfandel

Predator750 ml14.5% ABV

Bold and smoky California old vine Zin with velvety depth

This intense, full-bodied Zinfandel showcases bright raspberry and blackberry notes elevated by distinct cracked black pepper and smoky oak. Supple tannins and a generous structure lead into a long, smooth finish with hints of cocoa and toasted spice.

The story behind it

The maker

Predator was created by the Rutherford Wine Company, a family-owned estate with a multi-generational history of sustainable farming in California. The brand is named after the ladybugs that serve as natural predators to vineyard pests, emphasizing their commitment to eco-friendly grape growing.

How it is made

Crafted from select old vines in Lodi, California, where the warm daytime temperatures and cooling delta breezes create the ideal climate for expressive Zinfandel. The vines are naturally low-yielding, which concentrates the fruit flavors and creates a wine of remarkable depth and character.
