Boasting the coolest climate of the sub regions of the Lodi AVA, Mokelumne River’s winegrowing history extends well into the 1800s. A mild Mediterranean climate influenced by proximity to a number of the Sacramento Delta’s waterways, the soils are very consistent with a mild slope draining off to the river
