Marchelle Wines Bchthold Mokelumne River Cinsaut 2024

Planted in 1886 and still thriving on their own roots, the ancient Cinsaut vines of Bechthold Vineyard offer a glimpse into California’s earliest winegrowing legacy. From these sandy loam soils in the heart of Lodi, the 2024 vintage emerges with grace, lifted aromatics, and soulful depth.

This rare old-vine Cinsaut is delicate yet structured, unfurling layers of wild strawberry, dried rose, and baking spice, all woven with a fine thread of earthy minerality. A gentle touch in the cellar preserves its natural vibrancy and silken texture, making each sip feel like a whisper from the past.

Aromatics: Wild strawberry, rose petal, sandalwood

Palate: Cranberry compote, savory spice, tea leaf

Finish: Long, airy, and hauntingly graceful
