"A California must-try, from one of the oldest Cinsault vineyards in the world!"

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