2009 Bésoleil

Cinsault is a minor player in the wines of the Southern Rhone, yet its contribution is a part of many appellations of Southern France. Washington has embraced the variety, albeit in a minor way: a few acres are scattered throughout the Columbia Valley. We’ve watched its performance here and tasted the results for a number of vintages, and it makes its debut as part of our Bésoleil blend in 2009. It brings freshness and suppleness to the 2009 vintage..

Serve cool, 60-62°F. Best from 2013 through 2018.
