August 16, 2023 - Light bodied. Juicy red fruit with bright raspberry notes and lingering tartness. Red fruit and acid sounds simple, but it has to be in proper balance.

April 12, 2021 - Light and refreshing. I've become a fan of Cinsault as a varietal and Birichino's Bechthold Vineyard Cinsault is definitely worth buying. Purchased at Birichino's tasting room in Santa Cruz.
