A whimsical Red Blend named 'Cuvée Sinsó' (onomatopeia for Cinsault) combining 64% Cinsault, 26% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 3% Tannat, and 1% Viognier. The Cinsaut and Syrah are cofermented, and the blend is aged in neutral barrels and stainless. Very delicate, bright aromas of red berry fruits with savoury herb aromatics. Medium-bodied with intensely concentrated layers of pure, juicy fruit. It's everything you want in a Rhône-style wine with those pungent herb aromas and delicate, crisp tannins balanced by beautifully ripe California fruit. A lengthy finish of white pepper and red florals. It's a fun drinking, excellently structured red, and, at this price point, is great for weeknight meals of roast chicken and potatoes or herb-dusted pork loin.

Fresh and zippy aromas of black raspberry and scarlet rose are enhanced by wet earth, sumac and cinnamon on the nose of this Cinsaut-based blend, which also includes 26% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 3% Tannat and 1% Viognier. Thyme and fennel-frond flavors lead the herbaceous palate before bright raspberry, lemon peel and warm toast elements arise.
