2021 Michael David Ancient Vine Cinsaut

Having not produced a Cinsaut since 1999, this vineyard gave Michael David the opportunity to expand its Rhone program and get back to bottling smaller lots. Planted in 1886 by Joseph Spenker, our Cinsaut comes from Lodi’s oldest producing vineyard and one of the world’s oldest Cinsaut plantings. This vineyard is head trained and dry farmed just like it was when planted well over 100 years ago.

Tasting Notes
One of our most anticipated releases each year, the Bechthold Vineyard Cinsaut continues to shine with the 2021 vintage release. A fragrant bouquet of ripe summer strawberries, blackberries and subtle cocoa notes create the perfect melody on the nose. Medium in body with a light, refreshing texture, flavors of raspberry jam, black hibiscus tea and peppery spice lead to a pleasant, lasting finish.
