Andrew Murray Cinsault Curtis Vineyard

Not great. I bit thin and sweet. Had a very nice nose, but the taste was a bit disappointing. Will wait and hope the next vintage is a little better.

Well made if rather generic. This is not the kind of wine I would pay much for, certainly not $20-25. It's fun as a curiosity. I think it is one of those grape varieties that are more interesting as an old vine with reduced yields in the right soil. A bit like run of the mill Grenache noir without the raspberry and cracked pepper. Some mild cherry and earthy herbal scents.

Light, not real sweet, very enjoyable even before dinner.

Red fruit and earth notes, crisp finish. Somewhat thin and metallic.
