Harney Lane Vineyards

Lodi is known for its Zinfandel, and rightfully so! But did you know our region's warm days and cool nights are also ideal for bright, fruit-driven Albari?o? We're incredibly proud to announce our 2023 Henry Ranch Albari?o is a testament to that. This single-vineyard, single-varietal wine has garnered impressive accolades, including 94 points and Double Gold from the 2025 American Fine Wine Competition, Double Gold at the 2025 SF Chronicle Wine Competition, 99 points at the 2024 California State Fair Wine Competition, and 91 points at the 2024 Sunset International Wine Competition. We pour our heart and soul into every bottle at Harney Lane, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this wine recognized. https://lnkd.in/ghE8GeRu

This month marks a significant milestone for someone special to us and to many of you. In mid-October, our Matriarch, Kathy, will turn 80 years old. Before the last few years, you would find her pouring wine in the tasting room regularly. For those of you who were lucky enough to share time at the tasting bar with her, I am sure she made an impression.

“In a globalized world of convenience, ‘where’ might seem less important. But I argue that, with wine, it absolutely matters. While I encourage you to support Harney Lane and the Lodi region [this September as we celebrate California Wine Month], I also hope that next time you pick up a bottle of wine, you’ll consider the region it comes from and how that influences the wine. When you drink a bottle of our wine, I hope you’ll feel connected to the vineyard and the story it tells.” Read this month’s full journal entry from Jorja.

Here at the Henry Ranch, we nurture nearly 40,000 vines each year. In fact, this process begins way back in January. Even before we see signs of bud break or new fruit, our amazing vineyard team tends to the vines, ensuring they are pruned, fed, and cared for.? ? This is no easy task. Each variety has its own unique requirements and nuances, but it’s our job as farmers to pay close attention to their needs. We’ve always believed that in life and nature what you nurture grows. After nine months of hard work, we have seen our vineyards come to life and bear an amazing harvest. ? From our Albari?o and Chardonnay to our Primitivo, Cabernet, and Lizzy James Old Vine Zinfandel, each has shown remarkable signs of beautiful fruit and great flavor.

The sights, sounds, and smells of harvest season are all around us. It’s truly the most magical time of year to experience the wonder of winemaking. ? Did you know, from soil to shelf, our wines are 100% estate-grown and produced? That means the entire journey of winemaking – from tending to the vines to the bottling line – all take place and are under our care here on the estate. ? So, the next time you pick up a bottle of Harney Lane wine, know that we pour our hearts into every step of the process. We’re committed to making the best possible beverage for you and the planet.

As sixth-generation farmers, we’ve learned that high-quality,?handcrafted wine?requires an immense amount of heart and hard work – nothing can replicate the years we’ve sown into the land and our?family’s legacy. Since 1900, with focus and fortitude, we’ve learned that excellence takes endurance, distinction takes determination, and grace takes grit. That’s why we’ve taken matters into our own hands. We pour our heart into every step of the process – from soil to shelf – we’re committed to making the best possible beverage for our customers and the planet. Our 100% estate-grown wines are produced from?sustainably farmed vineyards?and meticulously made with no unnecessary additives and an unwavering commitment to quality. The result is a classic collection of naturally smooth, fruit-driven wines, perfect for enjoying in everyday life. With over a century on Henry Ranch in the heart of Lodi Wine Country, our philosophy has been and will always be to honestly make wine that is beautifully balanced, and consciously crafted with grace and grit.

Many hands have tended to these vines over the generations and we’re thankful for the careful attention paid over the years. The vineyard team says the fruit is tasting extraordinary this season, and they are excited to share the abundance of the 2024 vintage.
