Cinsault is typically a blending grape, but I’m enjoying it on its on. It's really good. Pairs well with the lightness of this Mediterranean dish. Low on tannins but kinda acidic. It's very fruity! #badandboozypod #womenwhowine #blackgirlswine

Ripe red fruits, floral and some rusticity.

Pretty good red!! It was delicious with food, but I’m not sure if I would enjoy it as much on its own! But it was still enjoyable!

Lighter in color, 13% abv; lots of red fruit up front. Great acidity. Not much in the way of tannin. I guess what this gives up in complexity is made up for by its long, pleasant finish. Good choice for pork cutlets and lemon.

Pinotage from South Africa. Very light and fruity like a Pinot Noir. Awesome.

I'm really glad I bought this bottle as I haven't have this as a single varietal before. Really light garnet color here that I found intriguing. A red fruit and funk nose. On the palate, the red fruit is lovely, but this is also smoky and bacony. A great white pepper finish as well... I love this!
