Absolute razor acidity and crunchy cranberry, autumn leaves and pumpkin spice. Wild wine with heady aromatics and tannins that standup to each course; the picture sums it up. valentine — 4 years ago

Drinking this beautiful Riesling at Waters in Fort Worth, with crab cakes and salmon. The minerality is amazing the slight peach notes and beautiful light aromatics. Sharing with wife and out laws — 7 years ago

Very muted aromatics at first. (A little petrol) But then opened up. Exotic spice & tropical fruit. The color was honeyed. But the wine was bone dry. Serious Riesling — 2 years ago

Skin contact Pinot Gris may have you wondering what we have here. Red? White? Rose'? Orange? Maybe the best way to think about this is to think about intent. To me, Comme En Rouge is Orange in style and purpose - obviously not color. Too savory, too woodsy and too herbal for rose'; too much glow for red. There's tannin and grip and structure.

Gorgeous color like cherry candy Mustang with a fresh coat of wax. Beautiful aromatics - maraschino cherry, rosemary, palo santo incense. Layered flavors of cherry, green strawberry, dried orange peel, spicy cinnamon.

A fun pour - something different, something I'll remember. — 4 years ago

This is a gorgeous example of a phenomenal Napa Cab!
Genevieve Bechtold runs this place. It wouldn’t be where it is without her. You better be nice to her when you see her or else you’ll get no wine & will have to deal with Desi & I!!!!!

@Delectable Wine oddly enough this is a Blanc de Cinsault, one of the silver linings of 2020.

When the fires hit early in harvest 2020, Will and Karen hedged their bets by pressing some of the 100+ year old vine Cinsault from the legendary Bechtold Vineyard immediately, and the result is a joy: pear, pomello, white grapefruit, some pith and white pepper on the finish. Fragrant and light.

In good news, the regular Cinsault from the vintage also turned out beautifully and isn’t showing a trace of smoke taint—or at least when I tried it a few months back. — 4 years ago

100% Cinsault

Fruit from historic 140 year old Bechtold Vineyard in Lodi. 13.4% ABV

this year, Ive had a few bottles of Cinsault from this vineyard from a few different wine makers. The Bonny Doon release has been the most fruit forward and super enjoyable.

Like being wrapped in a velvet blanket. Luxurious, long and full of dark fruit. Thanks to @Genevieve Bechtold for hosting us at the swanky Memento Mori clubhouse in Napa. — 8 years ago
