Description: (Sin-so) What a cool color! This dry rose is light in style and opens with hints of raspberry. Tangerines and melon in the mid palate. Is there a hint of strawberry in the finish? Pairs well with prosciutto and mellon or brie. No residual sugar, DRY!

Varietal Definition
Cinsaut/Cinsault:
Semi-classic grape widely grown in southern France and also in the Lebanon. Used as component in some Cotes du Rhone red wine blends. Transplanted to South Africa, where it was erroneously thought to be a Rhone Hermitage grape, and now a widely grown varietal making a popular red wine in that country, it is also often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. It has also been used to create the hybrid grape species known as Pinotage.
