"The 2021 Cinsault Bechtold is very pretty, aromatic wine. Crushed red berry fruit, hard candy, spice, cedar, tobacco, and dried flowers are all nicely lifted in this airy, mid-weight Cinsault. The 2021 is beautifully done."
Vinous
The own-rooted Bechthold vineyard was planted in 1886, and has become one of the most revered vineyards in all of Lodi. The wine was made with semi-carbonic fermentation, 100% whole-cluster and native yeasts. Matured for 10 months in neutral oak barrels.
