Soft tannin, red fruit. Great with cheese and charcuterie.

Soft. Light. Good, but not the right pairing with steak.

Red color with aromatic, but a tad hot, hazelnut, kirsch, strawberry, dried rose and spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with very good acidity, a creamy texture and baked cherry, strawberry, and baking spice flavors with a lingering finish.#LodiLive #Cinsault #BechtholdVineyard

~130 year old vine, oldest Cinsault vineyard in America, if not the world. Amazing fruit, slight raisin box adds a nice weight to the -medium body, fruitiness draws you back for another sip, balanced acidity, 13.5% ABV. Drink now.
