The Wine
Sierra Red, inspired by California’s rugged Sierra Nevada landscapes, reflects strength, depth, and intensity in every sip. This Lodi blend of Petite Verdot and Petite Sirah is driven by dark fruit, blackberry, plum, fig, and blueberry while layered with sweet vanilla and subtle dark chocolate notes. Bold tannins provide structure, while medium acidity carries through to a smooth, lingering finish, capturing the power and character of its mountainous namesake.

The Region
With a long history rooted in agriculture and winemaking, Lodi is defined by sun-filled vineyard landscapes, cooling river influences, and fertile mineral-rich soils shaped by waterways flowing from the Sierra Nevada. Consistent warmth and evening cooling allow Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah to ripen fully, producing wines with intense dark fruit character, firm tannins, and layered complexity.
