Tasting Notes:
Cherries and strawberry jam rise from the glass. Nice lively, fruity wine. Elegant, long fresh berry finish.
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 3 acres, the old vines yield a small amount of this fragrant, fruity
grape for Frick Cinsaut. The vines are about 40 years old.
The Wine:
Strawberry-cherry fruit character, spice on the finish.
This is a rare varietal with a small production in California and at
Frick Winery. The
wine is very versatile, fun and easy to drink and very accessible and likable. The
complexity and abundance of fruit is the wonderful character of the wine. Cinsaut
will improve any meal it is served with. Particularly good with bird and
game. A real charmer.
Drink now to 2011.
Only 500 cases made.
Serve with:
Cambozola cheese, strawberries,
chicken, grilled egg plant, pork chops, hummus, halibut, squab, quail,
guinea fowl. Mediterranean French and Italian Cuisine and more…
