Medium light garnet color with aromas of strawberry, rose petals, and hints of white pepper. Light bodied with dried red fruit character and minerality on the palate finishing with a bit of light, gritty tannin. Somewhat reminiscent of a cru Beaujolais. Made from 100% Cinsault with no added sulfites aged in neutral oak barrels. Sourced from Bechtold Ranch vineyard in Lodi planted in 1870 on its own roots. 13.32% ABV. $45.

Like so many of Abe's wines, there is more to it than one initially suspects. An intriguing combination of mint and plums with fleshy persimmon are present on the first pass. Additional sips reveal a spice and texture that integrate a subtle sweetness of strawberries and musk melon.
