2022 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 Ancient Vine Cinsaut continues to shine with the 2022 vintage release. Aromas of ripe raspberry, Mission fig and subtle floral notes create the perfect melody on the nose. Lighter in body with a beautifully refreshing texture, flavors of cranberry, walnut and ground clove lead to a balanced finish.
