This 100% old-vine Cinsault preserves the vineyard’s earthiness in a unique wine aged in neutral French oak. It’s light and bright, tasting of savory rhubarb, with soft layers of spice and a lingering, easy finish.

Syncline 2006 Cinsault (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is a pretty, pale purple/rose; bright, peppery and rather delicate. It shows excellent floral aspects, like a good Beaujolais - it’s somewhere between Pinot Noir and Gamay, with big fat grapes and heavy clusters that somehow produce a real finesse wine. The acids keep it lively, the peppery notes add a lot of spice and the floral qualities turn the tart…

Les Jamelles 2006 Rosé Cinsault (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A perennial Best Buy, the Les Jamelles Cinsault is a reliable choice for summer quaffing. It's a little fuller than many rosés, but also a touch more complex, adding hints of minerality to the bold, fruity notes of cherries and watermelon.

Frick 2004 Cinsault (Dry Creek Valley)
- $21
Cinsault is a minor French variety, grown in the Rhône and the southwest of France. It typically produces a ripe, full-bodied red wine, as it has here, brimming with dry cherry and blackberry flavors and a rich, pastry taste suggesting chocolate coconut cream pie. Very nice, but drink now.

Les Jamelles 2005 Cinsault (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
A perennial Best Buy, this juicy, fruit-filled rosé offers the ultimate in outdoor consumption, with simple, direct watermelon flavors bold enough to stand up to bbq smoke, pool chlorine and cut grass. The mouthwatering finish is a bonus.

Frick 2006 Cinsault (Dry Creek Valley)
- $26
A good, tannic, dry wine that will pair well with barbecued steak and other meats whose fatty richness will cut through its considerable tannins. Shows deep, spicy flavors of cherries and currants, with a coating of smoky wood. Drink now.

Morrison Lane 2005 Cinsault (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Made as a pure variety, this rare example of Walla Walla Cinsault—is scented with lovely whiffs of berries, plums and moist earth. It falls somewhere in the same stylistic region as Sangiovese and Pinot Noir, with bright, sharp, acidic fruit flavors.
