The Thirty Eight vineyard is located less than a mile from our winery and was one of the first Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards planted by the twins in the late 70’s. As one of the oldest vineyards, the yields are low, producing intense fruit flavors.
Located in the center of the Lodi AVA, the Jahant AVA is geographically the smallest of Lodi’s seven AVAs – a total size of 28,000 acres, with roughly 9,000 acres planted to vineyard. It sits on highly dissected river terraces and old floodplain deposits. The classic Mediterranean climate has Delta fog influence, and receives cold air drainage and entrapment within our vineyards.
Nearing fifty years old, this vineyard produces concentrated fruit, and the extended growing season allowed these flavors to fully develop while maintaining balanced sugar and acid levels. In the glass, a complex bouquet of black cherry, sweet tobacco, cocoa powder, and black currant emerges and evolves as the wine opens. Upon tasting, the rich, spiced dark fruit flavor is accompanied by fine grained tannins that hug the palate and lead to a long smooth finish.
