More black-fruited than I expected, with some candied character. Refreshing acidity.

What a great surprise. Juicy with lots of berry fruit. Great acidity & minerality.

I enjoy Bechtold Vineyard Cinsault. This effort comes in at 13%alc, but it tastes very ripe and juicy. I prefer other efforts from this vineyard more. William Allen of Two Shepherds makes the best I've tasted.

Youngster! Will be a balanced beauty in about 3 - 5 more years, oak still rangy but will settle down. Love the 13% alch, what a relief.

Definitely not as rustic as its French counterpart can be. This hints at dustiness, but mainly exhibits straight-forward and simple fruit notes. Grapey.
