Vines

After posting yesterday's blip I've been wondering which grape varieties are which colour at this time of year.

Whilst ambling round our vineyard with the dogs today, I picked these four samples. From left to right they are Syrah, Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault - all typical varieties of the Languedoc.

I still don't know what the deep red ones from yesterday are. A fellow blipper suggested they may be Carignan and she may be right, but Carignan is so common here that we'd expect at least 20% of the vines to be that colour, but they are less common than that. Any other suggestions?
