Producer Information
Apothic Wines is a range of wines produced by California's largest wine exporter, E.J. Gallo. It began with a single wine, the Apothic Red, which was first released in commercial volumes in 2010. The wine is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, made in a full-bodied style with ripe, fruit-forward characters and some residual sugar. The wine's easy-drinking style was an immediate hit and Apothic wines followed up with the Apothic Dark, a fuller and more savory red blend, and a white wine made from Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. Apothic Inferno was produced in 2014 and was a blend of 51 percent Zinfandel with remainder made up of Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir and Dornfelder. In February 2015, a limited-release red blend of Petite Sirah and Pinot Noir was sold as Apothic Crush. Further additions to the roster include the Apothic Rosé and a Sparkling Red. Although the 2010 vintage is considered the first full-scale release (over 800,000 cases) of Apothic Red, the wine was first made in 2007 by Gallo with a limited production of 15,000 cases. The 2007 offering was rounded praised by Robert Parker who called it, "one of the greatest bargains I have ever tasted from California [...] A hedonist’s dream [...]."
