2024 Bechthold Vineyard Cinsaut
The 2020 Marchelle Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir hails from a valley surrounded by redwoods near Comptche in Mendocino County, where cool ocean breezes, fog and unique clay loam soils yield Pinot Noir of remarkable depth and elegance. Crafted with native yeasts and aged in French oak, this wine reveals layers of wild cherry, forest floor, and coastal spice — a pure expression of Mendocino’s rugged coastal terroir. Perfect for collectors and Pinot lovers seeking balance, texture, and authenticity from California’s off-the-beaten path vineyards. This wine will age well and become silky smooth after five years.
