Turley
Bechthold Vineyard Cinsault
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
From head-trained vines planted in 1886, possibly the oldest Cinsault on Earth, and yet still farmed by the same family. It’s hard not to compare to Cru Beaujolais, with its tart, bright red fruit, lively acidity, and aromatic firework display of floral minerality. Even harder is setting down your glass.

Not a fan - realize it’s a Rhône varietal but way too light for me, not enough fruit, could tell the instant poured into the glass - hard to believe cake from Turley

Feb 25th, 2018This was a little new world for me, but still very impressive. Vines were planted in 1888, so I would imagine they have to be the oldest or close to the oldest Cinsault vines in the States, and with phylloxera who knows where else? A ton of Cherry and spice notes. Great depth of flavor and balance.

Earthy Strawberry drank. Washes down salumi and cheese way too easily. One bottle per person minimum.
