Barbera, like most black grapes, contains a white flesh inside its dark outer skin. Traditionally used to make red wine, Barbera is an Italian varietal best known for its high levels of natural acidity coupled with bright fruity qualities. By carefully eliminating any skin to juice contact during the crushing and fermentation process, we have created a uniquely refreshing wine reminiscent of “summertime in a glass.” This brilliant full-bodied white wine resonates with vibrant acidity, singing in unison with its bounty of crisp fruit flavor.
Viognier provides us with a rich and full-bodied style wine. Though the historical origin is unknown there is great possibility it came from Dalmatia, which is present day Croatia. Viognier seeks out sunny regions and cool nights, which helps the varietal to maintain its precious acidity and this is what makes Lodi AVA, a perfect place to grow Viognier.
This will be one you will want to swirl in your glass and enjoy with someone you love.
Spicy Old Vine Zinfandel from the Mokelumne River sub-AVA. Harvested from a 90 year old vineyard adjacent to our Estate, this wine embodies the full complexity of the old vines' character.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Barbera. All three vineyards are next door to each other and have the same sandy soil for a lush fruit wine.
Tawny style port, 10 years old, made with Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The most decadent of our ports with flavors of caramel, nut, raisin and toffee. The perfect wine for a special moment.
A grape of Italian origin, Barbera is best known for its high levels of natural acidity coupled with a propensity to ripen relatively late. These innate varietal characteristics sing in perfect harmony with Lodi's long hot summers by allowing the grapes ample time on the vine. When fully ripened, sugar levels exceed the acids resulting in a perfectly well-balanced wine, eagerly enticing the palate for another sip.
100% Grenache blended from two Lodi vineyards, smooth rounded wine with mouthfuls of ripe, red, sweet plum flavors. Aged 12 months in French oak. Don't let the light color fool you, this wine is full of flavor! Lovely aromas of red berries and spice will quickly turn to rich mouthfuls of strawberry and ripe red plum. Hints of white pepper and a dash of bright zesty orange dance with traces of oak on the smooth fruit-driven finish.
Our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon's structure and depth is balanced nicely with the ripe velvety texture of Syrah. Barrel aged for 18 months, the Oak has added extra spice and complexity to the wines.
With 'petite' referring only to the size of the grape, this wine possesses huge flavor and color intensity. From the heart of Lodi, in the fine sandy soils of the Mokelumne River sub-AVA, this wine exemplifies the true varietal character of Petite Sirah with its depth of color and highly distinctive flavor, while subtly boasting a graceful tannic structure.
Italy's most planted grape, often synonymous with 'fine wine' in Tuscany, Sangiovese eagerly embraces theMediterranean-like climate of the Mokelumne River sub-AVA of Lodi. Hot sunny days ending with cool breezy evenings, combined with a long and dry growing season, fashion these slow to late ripeners to thrive with exuberance. With Sangiovese's relatively thin skin, this wine is lighter in color, yet saturated with rich, fruitdriven flavor, accentuated by its well-balanced structure.
