  This cinsault still has quite a bit of acidity for a 9-year old wine. I opened it up a few hours before dinner and it rounded out a bit, but we still let it sit overnight while we drank something else.

  I wanted to see if California Cinsault would improve with age.
  
  Blood red rather like a Cabernet Sauvignon with a nose of smoke, earth, garrigue, and bing cherry. Very promising. The mouth is front-loaded with more of the smoky and savory dark cherry character and some initial grip. But then it lacks mid-palate backbone and substance and there is no focus on the abrupt, slightly bitter finish. Sort of like Zinfandel with garrigue but no bramble berry sweetness. (14.1%)
  
  This was much better in 2017. However, it is still enjoyable and should pair well with whatever pairs with quality Zinfandel.
