Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

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.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
