When recently bottled this wild, untamed wine was searching places. By now, it's settled down, bought a flat in the outskirts of town where kids attend an environmentally correct upbringing. And I love that. Classic interpretation of the future.

Grabbed this to have with Turkish food. Excellent decision. Dark ruby red with blue hues. A little dirty on the nose with some prune notes. Beautiful tart berries, blue and red ones on the palate. Slight crisp pinch near the finish. Smooth and delicious. Moderate plus tannins and acidity (7.5/10). Long finish with the tart acidity and low to moderate body. Very surprised and need to seek out more of these!

Note: 98% Cinsault and 2% Syrah, bottle number 116/2280.

Really like this wine, rustic and chewy, lovely fruit weight, bigger than expected, but well girdled. 2014

Acidic, tart, and wild. Super friendly with fresh green salad and balsamic.

Excellent California Cinsault. Floral nose spice and minerality on the finish
