Vineyard Notes:

The Bechthold vineyard is the oldest vineyard in the Lodi region, planted in 1886.  It is the oldest Cinsault vineyard in the world! The old vines are head trained, organically grown and dry farmed. Jillian was introduced to this vineyard in 2001 and has been working with the fruit ever since.  The Onesta block is on the east side of the vineyard where the vines produce the most concentrated fruit in the whole vineyard.

Vintification:

100% old vine Cinsault from the famous Bechthold Vineyard in Lodi. The perfect recipe involves gentle handling, saignée, cold soak, raging fermentation, extended maceration, and 18 months aging in neutral French oak barrels.
