The Mokelumne River appellation, located in central Lodi, south of the Jahant AVA, has 85,700 acres total, of which 42,000 are currently under vine. Containing Lodi’s most vigorous soils, they are of a fine, granular texture, running deep and draining well. The elevation here is relatively low, ranging from a low of 10 feet to a high of 100 feet. This area was the first to be planted in Lodi and is home to Lodi’s major wine producing facilities.
