Chateau L'Argentier 2020 Vieilles Vignes de Cinsault

100% Cinsault

Languedoc, France 

It pours a deep ruby with hints of purple, the nose a rush of red fruits and Southern French savor. Crushed red raspberry, dried cherry, red currant liqueur, white pepper, bay leaf, cedar, and hot rocks sit beside lavender and rose petal floral tones. On the palate it’s medium-plus in body, with no rough edges, just a fantastic wash of lifted acidity to freshen up the very ripe fruit. It leans more into tarter red fruit on the palate before a flinty finish rounds things out.
