Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Medium deep garnet. Nice but shy nose of black cherries, rhubarb, some hard spices; nice herbal and floral notes began to show up about 90 mins. after opening. Medium-bodied on the palate, with firm acids. Cherry flavors lead over spices; some heat intrudes. The finish is workable, with drying, very light tannins. A pleasant and interesting wine.

This cinsault is outstanding. Surprisingly smooth, good mouthfeel, warm yet robust. This 100% cinsault took us by surprise and we will be looking for Onesta wines again thanks to this positive experience.

Wines At My Table; Week of February 8, 2015; 2/2/2015-2/8/2015: Consistent with prior tasting note. Dark red color with an appealing mixture of musk, black cherry, strawberry aromas with a hint of caramel. On the palate it light-bodied moderate to very good acidity and fresh raspberry, strawberry, spice and a bit of mineral flavors. Medium finish. Paired well with Asian Style BBQ Chicken! Sample received for review.
