2022 The Language of Yes (Randall Grahm) 'Cuvee Sinso' Red Blend Central Coast

Winemaker's Notes: A French-inspired, Cinsaut-based red blend. Cinsaut and Syrah co-fermented for two weeks to extract color and texture. A small amount of Grenache from Rancho Réal was blended for fragrance. Aged in neutral barrels and stainless.Exuberantly fragrant and soft on the palate, the wine is highly evocative of red and black fruit, most specifically, black currant and black raspberry.

Blend: 64% Cinsaut, 26% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 3% Tannat, 1% Viognier.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "Fresh and zippy aromas of black raspberry and scarlet rose are enhanced by wet earth, sumac and cinnamon on the nose of this Cinsaut-based blend, which also includes 26% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 3% Tannat and 1% Viognier. Thyme and fennel-frond flavors lead the herbaceous palate before bright raspberry, lemon peel and warm toast elements arise."
