TASTING NOTES:
Rosé - “Onesta Rosé is opulent and bursting with flavors of guava and melon, delivering a mouthwatering long finish. Made in a Provençal style, the Rosé is completely dry (no residual sugar) and elegant with rich texture. Cinsault is the king of Rosé varieties in Provence, producing elegant & sophisticated wines.” (AbV 13.5%)

Cinsault - “This A-typical, rich and intense Cinsault has every right to be bottled as 100% Cinsault, coming from the oldest Cinsault vineyard on the planet. The vineyard, planted in 1886 produces fruit with good color, serious fruit intensity and rounded tannins. For those that do not know Cinsault, it can be described as having the elegant weight of a hearty Pinot Noir, with the fruit forward attitude of a Zinfandel. Onesta Cinsault explodes strawberry and spiced rhubarb, with hints of vanilla from aging in mostly neutral French oak barrels.” (AbV 14.5%)

BARRELS:
Rosé in stainless steel and 15% French oak, Cinsault in just neutral French oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Originally known as Burbn, a mobile check-in app like Foursquare, creators Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger rebranded to Instagram when they found photo-sharing to be the most popular feature on the existing platform. Formally released in 2010, Instagram gained a sizable stable of investors leading up to a billion dollar purchase of the company by Facebook in 2012. Maybe the best fact about the app is that a picture of a plain egg on a white background is currently the most-liked photo, created for the sole purpose of becoming the most-liked photo.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Egg. Just one.
