| | Cinsault - Appellation America |
 | | Despite Cinsault’s popular use as an obliging workhorse grape in the hot, dry regions of France and in other Mediterranean countries, it hasn’t caught on as a variety in California’s bulk-wine regions. |
 | | Total U.S. plantings are minimal, and are primarily by those producers fittingly described as ‘Rhone Rangers’ This variety is almost never seen as a single varietal wine, except in South Africa. |
 | | Here it is best known as one of the supporting cast for noble varieties, such as Syrah and Mourvèdre, and semi-noble varieties, such as Grenache. |
