Bechthold Vineyard is a famed site — planted in 1882, and highly sought after. Greg La Follette has a relationship with the owners and got a piece of the action for this new venture. It is a medium-bodied expression that leverages the cherry/blueberry fruit and signature minerality of the site. Greg adds a little wood spice to set things off, and the well-integrated flavors finish long and complex. Unique!
