Lorenzi Estate
Lorenzi Estate produces red blends from California that balance structure with depth. The Signature Series Reserve Heritage Red—a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—anchors the portfolio, drawing on the richness Zinfandel brings to California reds while Cabernet and Merlot provide framework and aging potential. The Phantom, built from Shiraz, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, leans toward darker fruit and tannin density. Alpha Red rounds out the core offerings with Shiraz, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—a five-variety blend that layers complexity across the palate. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, with the Heritage Red earning particular recognition among the three. The winery's approach centers on blending California's signature varieties to create reds with both immediate appeal and structural integrity.
