Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Whipstitch Cabernet Sauvignon offers a classic taste of Lodi with bright red fruit flavors and dark undertones layered with complex characteristics brought forth by oak aging. As a “Best of Class” winning brand, Whipstitch is committed to crafting excellent expressions of California’s inland winegrowing regions. Lodi enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long dry summers where daily temperatures often exceed 90° Fahrenheit. While most inland wine regions miss out on the Pacific Ocean’s cooling influence, Lodi is an exception. Thanks to a large gap in California’s Coastal Ranges created by the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, warm days are often cooled by afternoon Delta Breezes. This mediates high temperatures and protects fruit from over-ripening. Our Cabernet is ideal for dinner parties or backyard barbecues, bringing with it the tale of one of California’s many unique inland r ...

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Lodi](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/2745/normal/California_Central_Valley.png?1616011053)
Lodi
The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.

Oak
Chocolate and cedar aromas introduce a fruit-forward palate where bright redcurrant and raspberry float above layers of dense plum flavors. Rigid tannins support a full body, and a subtle hint of acidity results in a round and plush mouthfeel.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
![large bunches of red grapes on the vine](/static/1194e56820adfeee543f9cb0c258b6e1/524cb/grapes-1.jpg)
Whipstitch
Two colossal mountain ranges traverse the state of California, creating dynamic ecosystems and drastically different terroirs. The Sierra Nevadas to the east and Coastal Ranges to the west form the whipstichery of peaks that outline the edges of California's inland wine regions. Here, our Whipstitch winemakers craft dynamic wines by weaving together fruit from diverse microclimates to fit each region's precise style. Like the picturesque peaks of California, our wines will forever evoke a sense of splendor as they withstand the test of time.
