Lest anyone dispute the virtues of old vines, one need only look to Bechthold Vineyard in Lodi. Farmed organically and without irrigation, the soil is rich in granitic minerals washed down from the Sierra Nevada over millenia by the nearby Mokelumne River.
For those new to this wine, the Bechthold Vineyard, planted in 1886, reputedly constitutes the oldest block of Cinsault on Earth!
This absolutely delightful wine has landed with us along with some Pinot & Grenache!
Come and get some!
