Taste/Description: Cinsault is a grown in Southern France and in Rhone. Mostly used in blends where it can add spiciness, floral and red fruit taste. The make up of this wine is 60% Grenache and 40% Cinsault. I expected this wine to be drier due to its pale color but was pleasantly surprised by the fresh nectarine taste at the initial taste followed by a raspberry finish.
