1849 Wine Company
1849 Wine Company operates in Lodi, California's historic Central Valley wine region, where warm days and cooling evening breezes shape bold, fruit-forward wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Chardonnay and Rhône-Bordeaux blends that reflect the region's capacity for ripe, structured reds. Au Jus Chardonnay showcases the varietal's richness in the warm valley climate. Triumph, a blend of Shiraz, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, demonstrates the winery's approach to layered, complex reds. Anonymous rounds out the range with Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—a composition that speaks to Lodi's tradition of Zinfandel and its emerging reputation for serious Petite Sirah. Wine Enthusiast has rated wines from the portfolio. The winery draws on Central Valley's established infrastructure and terroir to produce wines at scale without sacrificing depth.
