delicious, fun to drink red wine with a great personality.

The Vineyard:
On A high, dry, western bench of Dry
Creek Valley, the head pruned Cinsaut vines grow in a medium red, dusty
clay soil. Covering only 2 acres,
the old vines yield a small amount of this fragrant, fruity grape for
Frick Cinsaut. The vines are about 40 years old.
