La Strada

Lodi Nero D'avola

David Akiyoshi La Strada Nero D'avola from Lodi presents a remarkable representation of this storied Sicilian varietal. With a deep and alluring ruby color, this red wine showcases a harmonious fusion of robustness and elegance. Upon the first sip, you'll experience a luscious medley of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, gracefully intermingled with hints of crushed herbs and a subtle touch of black pepper. The medium-bodied texture fills the palate generously, offering a vivid burst of fruit intensity that is both vibrant and balanced. The wine's acidity is captivating, providing a bright, mouthwatering quality that accentuates its lively character, while the tannins are well-structured yet smooth, ensuring a refined finish. This Nero D'avola is a delightful testament to Lodi’s ability to produce wines with exceptional depth and complexity, embodying the essence of its Mediterranean roots.

Central Valley
Central Valley

Away from the dramatically cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, Central Valley is California's breadbasket, where much of the country's fruit, vegetables, nuts and grapes are grown. Bathed in sunshine and growing in fertile soils, Central Valley spreads 400 miles from Sacramento to Fresno. Because of its heat, the region produces abundant Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which soak up the sun and transform it into dense, deeply colored wine. In the region's cooler AVAs—those that lie around the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, such as Lodi—higher acid grapes like Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Barbera and Chardonnay grow with great success.
