Cinnabar

California winery crafting Malbec, Mourvèdre, and Grenache-based blends.

Cinnabar produces wines from California that have drawn assessment from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator. The winery's Malbec stands as its highest-rated expression, followed by a Mourvèdre that demonstrates the winery's engagement with varieties beyond the mainstream. Sunset Vineyard Incantation, a Grenache and Souzao blend, rounds out the portfolio. These wines reflect a willingness to work with grapes—Malbec's dark fruit and structure, Mourvèdre's savory depth, Grenache's aromatic generosity—that demand precision in the cellar. California's diverse terroirs and long growing season provide the foundation for wines of this character.
