Onesta Cinsault Bechthold Vineyard Lodi
In Stock
The Bechthold Vineyard is 25 acres of Cinsault planted on the west side of Lodi — in the Mokelumne River sub-appellation of the Lodi AVA. This own-rooted vineyard was planted in 1886 by Joseph Spenker. Fortunately the soil on the west side of Lodi is particularly sandy (sandy loam to be exact), and too well drained to allow phylloxera a toehold. That good fortune, along with the family’s desire to preserve this part of their farming history has allowed this gem of a vineyard to remain productive at 128 years of age.

Every year I look forward to this wine. I have it on Thanksgiving because it is very food friendly and versatile. I have tried other Cinsaults from this same vineyard, and Onesta's takes top place with this wine. I enjoy it all year long.

Great addition to any table. Delicious and such a people pleasing wine for a spectrum of palettes. My “Go to” to bring to any party ( high praise) or a simple dinner at home.

Onesta produces the best Cinsault I've ever tasted. Highly recommended.
