"A California classic, from one of the oldest Cinsault vineyards in the world!"

This 100% Cinsault comes from one of the oldest vineyards in the world. Located in the Lodi region, Bechthold Vineyard was planted in 1886. The 2019 vintage is characterized by extraordinary freshness and silky texture, blossoming with flavors of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate, with subtler notes of toasted wood, black pepper, and fresh violets. A bottle that is sure to surprise you.
