Paskett Vineyards
Paskett Vineyards operates in Lodi, California's historic Central Valley wine region, where warm days and cooling evening breezes shape the character of ripe, structured wines. The winery's portfolio centers on three varietals that thrive in this terroir: Viognier, a white wine of aromatic intensity and textural richness; Cabernet Sauvignon, the region's signature red; and Zinfandel, which captures the region's bold fruit and spice. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Viognier at 89.5, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel each at 88.0. Lodi's continental climate—marked by significant diurnal temperature swings—allows these wines to develop full phenolic ripeness while retaining acidity and definition. The winery's focus on these three core expressions reflects both regional strengths and a disciplined approach to varietal expression.
