2020 Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant
Post Type: Product
In cool years the Grenache is enormously pretty and fragrant This was the first year of production for the Cinsault and it was thinned multiple times both for enhanced concentration and evenness of ripening. The cooler climate gives the Cinsault a wonderful articulation of flavor, but what is most noteworthy is the fact that we were able to coferment the Cinsault with Syrah. Something magical happens when Syrah and Cinsault marry; the healthy tannin titer from the Syrah seems to give more structure to the Cinsault, helps to stabilize color. The spicy, licorice component from the Syrah is a perfect foil to the Griot te cherry derived from the Cinsault.”- -Randall Grahm (Winemaker/Founder)
2020 Bonny Doon “Vin Gris de Cigare” Rose
Post Type: Product
It’s really the Grenache that dominates this blend; Grenache in a cool vintage is nothing if not an extraordinary blessing. One finds olfactorily the usual suspects: wild strawberry, peach, guava and rhubarb and very discreet scent of white pepper. We have continued the practice of leaving the wine post-fermentation on its lees to great effect; the wine has a wonderful creaminess and length on the palate in virtue of this enlightened practice
