The Jahant appellation, located in central Lodi, has 28,000 acres total, of which 9,000 are under vine. Jahant is the smallest of the Lodi appellations and is most aptly defined by its unique pink Rocklin-Jahant loam soils, so much so that the boundaries of the appellation are marked by the extent of these soils. Jahant’s climate is cool and dry, due to its close proximity to the Mokelumne River, Sacramento Delta, and its relatively low elevations, ranging from 10 feet to 100 feet. Despite its small size, it is hard to define the appellation’s signature grapes as many varieties are planted here, both red and white.
