Consumnes River - Wine Region Of The Day
/Consumnes River
Cosumnes River received its designation as an AVA in 2006. Sitting on 54,700 acres, Cosumnes is a sub-appellation of the Lodi AVA and is located across Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties. The soil is made up of alluvial fan deposits from the river. The region sits close to the Sacramento Delta and, as a result, Cosumnes River is cooler than most Lodi appellations. The climate features daytime sun with cool breezes and morning fog. Cold weather vines do well here, and the region is known for its Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
