Bonny Doon Vineyard "Le Cigare Volant Cuvee," 2021

California, (Central Coast AVA)
69% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 14% Cinsault, 2% Petite Sirah

13.6%

 

The fruit is carefully selected to ensure its full potential of ripeness with balanced chemistry, and as usual for Cigare, Grenache is the star of the show. As we all know, Grenache grown in relatively cool sites in coastal California has a growing season long enough for it to create the spicy, peppery quality that we love so much and expect to taste in Cigare.

TASTING NOTES: Medium-bodied with soft tannins and virtually no oak impact. Flavors are more complex than initially detected, with forest floor herbaceousness underpinning the fruit.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: This wine pairs well with game, lamb, or beef.
