2019 Marchelle Wines Cinsault
Planted in 1886 by German immigrant, Joseph Spenker, the Bechthold Vineyard lies along the sandy banks of the Mokelumne River in Lodi California. It is dry-farmed with head trained vines and is believed to be the oldest producing Cinsaut vineyard in the world. Bechthold’s gnarly, twisting tree-like vines are a sight to behold.
Smoked meats, roasted venison and a musky, visceral, almost sensual aroma verily leap out of the glass to grab one’s attention. On the palate, the tannins are silky-smooth, belying the “all teeth and digestive tract” of the aromas with a gentle and savory-spice finish.
