This A-typical, rich and intense Cinsault has every right to be bottled as 100% Cinsault, coming from the oldest Cinsault vineyard on the planet. The vineyard, planted in 1886 produces fruit with good color, serious fruit intensity and rounded tannins. For those that do not know Cinsault, it can be described as having the elegant weight of a hearty Pinot Noir, with the fruit forward attitude of a Zinfandel. Onesta Cinsault explodes strawberry and spiced rhubarb, with hints of vanilla from aging in mostly neutral French oak barrels.
