Talus

Lodi Zinfandel and Chardonnay rooted in Central Valley warmth.

Talus draws from Lodi, California's sun-warmed Central Valley appellation, where old vines and sandy loam soils shape bold, ripe fruit. The winery's portfolio centers on three core expressions: a Chardonnay with the weight and texture the region's warm days encourage; a Zinfandel that captures Lodi's signature dark-berry intensity; and a Cabernet Sauvignon built on the region's natural ripeness. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have both assessed the lineup, with the Chardonnay and Zinfandel leading in critical evaluation. Lodi's continental climate—hot days, cool nights—produces wines of generous alcohol and concentrated flavor, a style Talus channels across its red and white offerings.
