“If you have never been to Lodi for wine tasting, Lucas should be on your itinerary. It is a solid Lodi winemaker with solid roots. While Zin is their home varietal anchored by their historic ZinStar vineyard literally right behind the tasting room, it’s not their heart and soul. Their passion and work with Chardonnay, grown nearby, is what makes Lucas standout. Chardonnay doesn’t grow all that well in Lodi but Lucas shows the grapes flexibility and expression. They also make their “oaked” Chard slightly different from most other CA warm-moderate climate Chards. It is definitely something to add to the tasting list.”
