2011. Last bottle of L’Argentier. It was great to have multiple bottles their Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Rosé in the cellar this past decade. Always drinkable and great with food. The Grenache was my favorite, but the age on this Cinsault mellowed out the tartness and underripe flavors I noted early on. Big cherry on the nose and initial taste, then some spicy earth and smooth tannins.

Yummy!!!! Subtle figgy sweetness, spice after the first sip and luscious chewy caramel to finish. Soooo good!

This light bodied fruity Cinsault is great for summer and lighter meals. It is fairly well balanced with a decent amount of acidity that holds it up. Lots of cherry and a bit tart.

2011. We've been to two dinners with this winemaker and really enjoy his wines! This one is light with slightly tart under ripe berry flavors.

This is dark with some real tannin. Alcohol blended in well. Bit of funk.
