Wine San Francisco CA Phoenix AZ Van Ruiten Winery
Wine San Francisco CA Phoenix AZ Winery California Tasting Club White Best Zinfandel Van Ruiten Buy Online World Class Award Winning French Paring Red (209) 334-5722 Mid-way between the Sierra Foothills and San Francisco Bay Delta, vineyards such as those owned by the Van Ruiten Family profit from the ideal delta influenced climate (cool afternoon breeze) that produce ripe full-flavored Zinfandel's. Before settlement, the San Joaquin Valley was often an inland sea after winter rains and spring snow melt. The resulting flood drainage and soil deposits surrounding Lodi left a rich soil that drains easily, producing one-of-a-kind harvests.
For 50 years, the grapes grown in the Van Ruiten vineyards were harvested and shipped to other wineries every summer. The family wanted to branch out into wine-making, and in 1999 the first varieties of the Van Ruiten wines went into production. Among the most memorable and lasting first wines was a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend that remains one of the families most popular today, along with the famous Old Vine Zinfandel, and the exceptional Chardonnay.
In 2000, less than a year after kicking off its first season of wine-making, the Van Ruiten family opened a state-of-the-art winery among their vineyards along Highway 12. The following year saw an addition of a tasting room, which allowed thirsty travelers to sample the winery's growing list of award winning wines. Soon a growing number of local boutique wineries were knocking at the door, seeking custom crush and wine-making services.
World class wine collectors, as well as leading vintners, entrepreneurs, consumers and wine lovers have quickly discovered the distinctiveness and quality available through the old family vineyards in Lodi. They now look for the Lodi and specifically the Van Ruiten Family name when patronizing exclusive establishments presenting the best wines for the world to their customers.
Three generations of the Van Ruiten family now work together tending the vineyards, managing the winery and bringing the finest wines to market. The Van Ruitens believe that hard work and an uncompromising commitment to excellence are the cornerstones of success today, and for their sixteen grandchildren and the generations to come.

The Gamba Estate Old Vine Zinfandel is one of three wines made by owner and winemaker Agostino Gamba, Jr. The Gamba Estate Vineyards was planted in 1900 and only yields about 1/2 to 3/4 ton per acre. The vineyard is meticulously farmed by Agostino Gamba who employs sustainable farming practices without the use of pesticides and herbicides. Grapes from the Gamba Estate Vineyard produce intense, well-balanced wines with depth and character.
Tasting Notes:
2009 Gamba Old Vine Zinfandel Gamba Estate Vineyard:
Another knockout wine from the Gamba Estate Vineyard! Ripe and rich, but with great balanced structure. Deep garnet. in color, the aromas are highlighted by luscious black cherry, raspberry with clove, and toasted oak accents. In the mouth this wine is soft and velvety, filling the senses with juicy cherry, boysenberry and blueberry, with layered, subtle, complex flavors of cardamom, nutmeg, toasty mocha, and hints of allspice.
