The Oak

This 2014 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a pleasing balance of acidity that delivers a crisp and refreshing experience, complemented by pronounced fruit intensity filled with luscious notes of ripe apple and pear. The oak aging imparts a subtle richness, integrating creaminess with a touch of vanilla, which harmonizes effortlessly with the wine's bright freshness. With a dry finish, California Landscape The Oak is an ideal companion for seafood dishes or a delightful addition to any gathering, leaving a lasting impression of its exceptional craftsmanship and the essence of California's winegrowing heritage.

Region:


Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
