The Lodi wine region lies in the northern portion of California’s Central Valley, which includes San Joaquin County. The eastern portions are within the Sacramento Valley, while its western parts touch on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, with noticeably cooler conditions in that section.
Lodi is known for its old vine Zinfandels, with quality production from other varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. One of the more exciting trends in the region is experimentation with Spanish varietals such as Tempranillo, Graciano, and Albarino and the Portuguese Verdelho. Flame Tokay had at one time been the signature grape of the region, now fallen out of favor, but still used for brandy production.
Though Lodi itself is a subregion of Central Valley, it is further divided into the following subregions:
Lodi California has slowly become a real powerhouse in the California wine scene, but it's not a region that gets much attention. Slowly but surely generations of farmers in this plain state like piece of california just 90 minutes ast of San Francisco...

A very interesting wine. Dark and inky as a Petite Sirah should be. It's a high alcohol (14.5%) grape juice with still a bit of a yeasty or musty smell and taste. But I the smell doesn't transfer too much to the taste - perhaps the high alcohol is killing that. Read More

This unusual note was barely perceptible and not unpleasant. As the wine moves to the back of the palate ... Read More
