Gen5 Ancestral Red Blend 2024 is a rich, fruit-forward California red blend produced by GEN5, a brand that celebrates five generations of sustainable farming by the Lange family in Lodi. Crafted primarily from estate-grown grapes in Lodi with a small portion from Clarksburg, this crowd-pleasing blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Malbec, Merlot, and other complementary varieties. A portion of the wine is aged for approximately eight months in French oak, adding depth and complexity while preserving its vibrant fruit character. The 2024 vintage is smooth, approachable, and versatile, offering lush dark fruit flavors, velvety texture, and a long, satisfying finish. It pairs beautifully with grilled burgers, barbecue, pizza, pasta, roasted meats, and aged cheeses.
