Description

Introducing Six Spot Red Wine, an enticing addition to the Predator Wines family. Some farmers believe that finding a ladybug with six spots signals a bountiful harvest. And, since ladybugs consume crop-damaging aphids, even the least superstitious grower welcomes them, six – spotted or not. Six Spot Red Wine is sourced from the renowned Lodi Appellation.

Lodi, California is ideally situated between the Sierra Foothills and the San Francisco Bay Delta and benefits from cool afternoon and evening breezes, producing world-renowned red varieties. The 2015 harvest developed wines with intense, fruit flavors and well-structured tannins. Our winemaking team blended a selection of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Malbec to craft this expressive and balanced red wine.

Our commitment to sustainable growing practices helps ensure the health and vitality of our select vineyards. “Natural Predation” is an eco-friendly strategy to control harmful critters in the vineyards. Ladybugs, a natural insect predator, along with predator mites, feed on destructive aphids. Ladybugs would suggest pairing this Red Wine with fresh aphids or mites – but we recommend short ribs or a delicious Osso Buco.
