Lodi Appellation
The right soil, the right climate, the right people.
Lodi is ideally situated between the Sierra Nevada foothills and the San Francisco Bay. Warm days and cool evening breezes (marine influences) create a uniquely Mediterranean climate perfectly suited to cultivating California's top varietals- Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. While all these grapes thrive here, Zinfandel is a singular phenomenon. Old vines, some over 120 years old, gnarled and sculpted by time, yield small amounts of fruit to create a wine that is the ultimate expression of the terroir.
Our community includes multi-generational families of winemakers and growers. The area also attracts a new generation of vintners who see the opportunities for crafting great wines while setting down their own roots in a nurturing environment.
These growers and winemakers helped establish Lodi as an official American Viticultural Area (AVA), with 7 distinct growing regions in 1996. The area's commitment to sustainable, environmentally-friendly agricultural practices is an exemplar for the entire California wine industry.

Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and nearly equal portions of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot.
The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been a foundational wine for more than five decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley, full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.
Review:
Nine different Cabernet clones joined forces for the 2022 Signature, a wine designated in what the winery offers only in extraordinary vintages. The final blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, includes Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot in small quantities. Luscious, as expected, a bath of puréed black cherries and milk chocolate match with teeth-coating plum skin tannins. Spiced red tea, Italian herbs, and a trace of cinnamon-cedar are left behind on the long, silky finish. - The Tasting Panel, July/August 2025
