Lucas

"The Lucas Winery was established in 1978 because we believed we had the soil, climate, and vineyards to produce great wines. Our philosophy is simple - We believe wines should be crafted to reflect the place they are from. Crafting organically farmed*, hand harvested, unblended pure varietal wines is our specialty. When you visit our winery, our goal is to provide a space for you to learn about and enjoy wine and the art of winemaking."

“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.”
