Cinsault Rose Columbia Valley 2021
This is an exceedingly drinkable rosé crafted entirely from Cinsault. Lean and fresh, with the ideal amount of texture, it’s a balanced and refreshing wine. Like the '19 and '20, the '21 is lean and fresh, but with just the right amount of texture from the puncheon aging (with battonage).
