Bright, green but refreshing, underbites of blue fruits. Tasty

Old vine Cinsault with a splash of Pais. This was unexpectedly awesome. Roses and bright,, dusty raspberries really jump out of the glass along with some sawdust and cherry taffy. Low tannin, med acid, and racy in the mouth. Tart, pure fruit and a rusticity that’s appealing. Cool wine.

Good wine is alive and well in South America. Killer for the price

Similar to a Beaujolais Village. Clean, ripe raspberries/ cranberries with nice acid. Should pair well with a number of dishes. Easy drinking

Clear, medium ruby

Clean, med+ notes of black pepper. Might be fooled into thinking Northern Rhone (also triggering a Susumaniello response), unidentified red fruit ontop of deep dark gnarliness.

Dry, medium acid tannin . Body is in the acid driven lean category. Weight of a Beaujolais @ 13% ABV. Red fruit and pepper. Holds its own as the black pepper in the mix of celery root, parsnips, Dittmer’s smoked turkey (oh yeah) and even kale. Cote Rotie of Chile. Rockstar.

Kick ass organic old vine and natural Cinsault (90%) wine from Chile. Could lay down 1.5 years.

NOTES: ”Located in the Guarilihue district of Chile's Itata Valley, Rogue Vines is one of the relatively recent producers to make expressive, organically farmed, minimal intervention wine. Cinsualt is abundant around these parts, and oftentimes dates back to the 1940s so they are nicely mature. *Natural Wine*”
