Operation Gratitude

Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

The Joseph Carr Operation Gratitude Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi is a delightful testament to this revered winemaking region. With each sip, you'll experience a full-bodied wine that offers a balanced yet pronounced liveliness, making it an absolute pleasure for the palate. Lodi's warm climate imparts the grapes with deep, dark fruit notes, where blackcurrant and plum take center stage, harmoniously complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and spice. The tannins are firm, providing a structured backbone that ensures a lingering finish. This wine is not just about impressive flavors, but also about paying homage to the efforts of those who serve, making it a perfect choice for both casual evenings and special occasions.

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.
