Which of the following Sub AVAs belongs to Lodi?

The Mokelumne River is a recognized Sub-AVA within the Lodi appellation. Sub-AVAs are designated geographical areas that have distinct characteristics, including climate, soil composition, and vineyard practices, which differentiate them from the broader AVA they fall under. The Mokelumne River region is known for its diverse terroir and is particularly suitable for growing a wide variety of grape varieties, primarily Zinfandel, which is a signature grape of the Lodi area.

Understanding the distinctiveness of the Mokelumne River helps in appreciating its contribution to the overall identity and wine production of the Lodi region. The other names mentioned, such as North Yuba, Shenandoah Valley, and El Dorado, are not part of the Lodi AVA but represent different wine-producing areas within California. Each of these areas has its own specific greenhouse conditions and grape-growing attributes that cater to different wine styles, thus distinguishing them from Lodi and its Sub-AVAs.
