Longship Cellars 2020 Only One Cinsault

Longship Cellars 2020 Only One Cinsault


Cinsault is a minor blending grape typically found in small portions in red Rhone blends and this one from Richland's Longship Cellars is 95% Cinsault and 5% Syrah from Horse Heaven Hills. The grape adds floral character to blends, and in this case, it presents prominent herbal-floral aromas of green peppercorn, lavender, clove and pipe tobacco that mix with hints of red berries. On the palate, it’s beautifully layered with rich fruit and weight alluding to plum sauce with a generous dose of baking spice and notes of orange peel that linger through an extensive finish that showing hints of cocoa, white pepper and persistent florals.
