Who We Are
We are Jeff and John Perlegos, brothers & second-generation winegrowers. Along with our families, weâve been farming wine grapes in the Lodi area for our entire lives.
Our parents left Greece for America to chase the American Dream. We farm about 80 acres of wine grapes, primarily the historic old vine Stampede Zinfandel (planted 1920), old-vine vineyard Cherryhouse Vineyard Zinfandel (50 years old) Merlot, and Assyrtikoâyes, you read that right, Assyrtiko! â and we partner with other like-minded farmers for some other cool stuff.
Winemaking Philosophy: Start with amazingly grown fruit, native yeast, low intervention, minimal handling, low to medium alcohol, refreshing acidity, mostly neutral french oak and stainless steel.
TLDR Wines and Scores
Our deals are killer.
2025 Assyrtiko - Thera Block 13.9% abv, (2023 93pts WE): [This is a pre-release item that will be offered beginning in late September - no worries its bottled, labeled & resting comfortably in a chilled space]. The Thera Block of Assyrtiko is located 25 miles northeast of Lodi in the village of Clements. Assyrtikoâs birthplace is the Mediterranean island jewel of Santorini, officially called Thera. The grape is the current face of Greek wine and for good reason - itâs spectacular, intense and stands out in a crowd. There is very little of the grape planted in the new world. As sons of Greek immigrants we are especially proud to be amongst the first to grow & produce this wine in California. We believe there is no better white grape suited to the Mediterranean climate here in California, and especially Lodi, than Assyrtiko. We destemmed and left the grapes on skin for a few hours then pressed the grapes & fermented the juice in neutral stainless steel using native yeast. It was bottled after 8 months of aging. It is bursting with aromas & intense flavors of preserved lime, citrus, stone fruit & minerality wrapped around a juicy, flinty. Our most mineral rendition yet. 6 barrels produced.
2024 Cinsault 13.1% abv,
Lovingly farmed by the Sprague Family on gravelly loam in the hilly terrain of far-eastern Lodi. The grapes were fermented 100% whole cluster using native yeasts. The 2020-2022 were fan favorites in our previous releases and we feel the 2024 version will be no different. Floral with ripe strawberries, blackberries & spice. 6 barrels.
2022 Nero dâAvola - Fernow Ranch, 12.9% abv, (2022, 2021 93pts WE)
Nero dâAvola is one of the most important red varieties of southern Italy & Sicily. We are taking the road less traveled and seeking out grapes that thrive in warm Mediterranean climates. Lodi is a natural fit for Nero dâAvola with its sandy soils, warm days but breezy, cool nights. All of this combined with the impeccably thoughtful farming of the fruit were exactly what we were hoping to find. The no-till vineyard is meticulously farmed by the Des Voignes & Hartwick families. The grapes were destemmed, fermented with native yeasts and raised in neutral oak for 16 months. Darkly floral with a medley of herbs, black cherries and licorice on the nose. Delicate on the palate but still offers plenty of structure for long aging to go along with flavors of crushed raspberries, blackberries and notes of sweet spice. 2 1/2 barrels
2024 Zinfandel - Stampede Vineyard 13.9% abv, (2020 94pts, 2023 93pts WE)
The Stampede Vineyard is farmed by our family & originally planted on its own roots in the 1920âs. It is located 25 miles northeast of Lodi in the village of Clements where the valley gives way to the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. It sits adjacent to the Clements Buckaroos Rodeo Grounds where the countryâs largest amateur rodeo, The Clements Stampede, takes place each Fall. The vineyard is a field blend, mixed variety compilation of 10 varieties: 85% Zinfandel while Mission, Grenache, Alicante Bouschet, Carignane, Syrah, Petit Sirah, Mourvedre, Cinsaut & Flame Tokay comprise the remaining. The grapes were either destemmed (80%) or fermented whole cluster (20%) using native yeasts & minimally handled until bottling after 18 months in neutral barrels. 6 barrels
2023 Zinfandel - Cherryhouse Vineyard 14.8% abv
Planted in the mid-1970s, Cherryhouse Vineyard sits on Lodiâs west side, where old vines thrive in well-drained sandy soils. Head-trained and nearly dry farmed, the vineyard yields Zinfandel with vibrant, lush fruit, natural freshness, and a deep sense of place. Blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, clove & cinnamon. The grapes were destemmed & fermented using native yeasts & minimally handled until bottling after 20 months in neutral barrels. 2 barrels
2022 Duetto, 12.9% abv (50/50 Nero dâAvola/Zinfandel): Duetto - Two voices coming together to perform as one harmonized unit. Our Duetto Red Wine plays homage to the elegant Cerasuolo wines of Sicily. In our California version we blend equal parts Nero dâAvola from the Fernow Ranch with Zinfandel from our familyâs field-blend Stampede Vineyard. The grapes were destemmed, fermented separately with native yeasts and raised in neutral oak for 16 months before being combined for bottling. 6 barrels produced. Cherries, berries, flowers & wild herbs on the nose & palate. 6 barrels.92pts WE
2024 Red Wine, 13.5% abv, (2022 92pts WE) (Merlot, Cinsault, Carignane): A wine inspired by the legendary Chateau Musar of Lebanon. A blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Cinsault & 25% Carignane fermented using native yeasts, half of which were whole-cluster. The Merlot is farmed by our family and is located in the Clements Hills AVA of Lodi, adjacent to our Stampede Vineyard. The Cinsault is sourced about a 1/2 half mile away on gravelly soil on a rolling hillside farmed by the Sprague Family. The Carignane is grown on the west side of the city of Lodi in the 1920âs era Mule Plane Vineyard. The grapes are minimally handled until bottling after 11 months in neutral barrels. 4 barrels.
2023 Carignane - Mule Plane Vineyard 13.1% abv
Planted on its own roots in the 1920âs in Lodiâs sandy soils, this historic 5ac vineyard has been cared for by the Shinn family since its planting. It earned its name as the land was originally leveled by mule & plow. 100% Carignane fermented whole-cluster using native yeasts. Minimally handled until bottling after 16 months in neutral barrels.93pts WE
