This AVA is the most topographically diverse of any Lodi appellation with a low of 73 feet in the west and a high of 520 feet near the Sierra Nevada. Another defining feature is the well-drained, stone laden, stream deposit soils of Laguna and Dry Creek, two streams which flow from the Sierra Foothills eastward to the San Joaquin Valley, marking the northern and southern boundaries of the appellation respectively. Borden Ranch is largely comprised of the expansive vineyards of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, Sutter Home and Delicato.
