Harney Lane Winery

Harney Lane Winery is one of California's most historically continuously family-farmed and Lodi-founding-significance wine family estates. The Mettler family — who have farmed the same Harney Lane Lodi property since 1907, through Prohibition, the Depression, and more than a century of continuous single-site Delta terrain cultivation — represent five generations of accumulated Lodi farming knowledge that few California wine families can match for historical continuity and single-site commitment.

The old vine Zinfandel heritage plantings on the Harney Lane estate — some of the oldest continuously producing Zinfandel vines in the Lodi wine district, planted by earlier generations of the Mettler family on the Delta-influenced Lodi soils that produce old vine Zinfandel of the most concentrated and individually character-specific quality — provide the estate wine program's most historically consequential and genetically oldest vine foundation.

The Harney Lane estate wine program produces Lodi old vine Zinfandel, Tempranillo, and Albariño with Wine Spectator recognition for the individual old vine character and personal five-generation Mettler family farming knowledge that 100+ years of continuous single-site Lodi Delta cultivation produces in the most historically continuously-farmed and individually Mettler-family-Lodi-founding-significance estate wine appointment available in the Lodi wine region.
