"Cinsault drinks lighter like a Pinot Noir or a Granache. Deliciously mellow and light for a red, so share with your favorite lady."

"Question, is Cinsault compareable to a Pinot Noir or a Cab? What should I be looking for when I finally do drink it?
It doesn't seem to have a whole lot of info out there on it. I guess that is because it is usually blended.
Thanks,

"The Turley Cinsault is a young 2008 vintage, so it would definately benefit from staying in the cellar for 2-3 years to mellow. Normally Cinsault is a varietal used in blends, but this Turley is unusual as it is 100% Cinsault. All Turleys are in demand. This cult vintner has a ten year waiting list, with newbies only being alotted a few bottles and oldies to the list garnering a few cases. This 2008 Cinsault was just a 325 case run and half of it was purchased by the Wine Garage in Calistago for their big bold red club member distribution. That leaves just 150 cases for distribution, so yes this Cinsault should come a collector item.

"What all do you know about the Turley Cinsault? I just got it in a wine club and am pretty excited about it. Should I leave it in the cooler for a few years? Is it as wanted as the other Turley wines are?
Thanks,

Dark claret red with clear legs. Lavendar and black currant bouquet. Smooth fruit on the uptake with a short semi dry clay on the finish leaves you wanting a little fruit more at the end. Good...
Darker than most Tempranillos, this one is deep purple with strong legs. Shitake mushroom, minerals, loomy and silky smooth with subtle, supple, hints of leather.
This 2005 "Provacative" Cabernet Savignon blend has Cabnernet, Cab Franc and a splash of Syrah. Super rich and velvety. Dark purple legs. Tastes blackberry pie, wild huckleberry, leather...
Bouquet of plums, violets, minerals. Tastes black cherry, currant, pomegranates. Wet sandstone and lavendar finish. Aged 20 months in oak barrels, yet the oak is subtle.
Inky in color, deep purple to black. Silky rich. Pomegranate, black raspberry, blueberry, with a vanilla and long white pepper finish. Rim Rock Vineyard.
