Carignane

Carignane Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: One of our “old-timer” grapes. We draw Carignane grapes from both a 90 year-old vineyard and one we planted in the early 1980s. The resultant wine gives us dense blueberry/blackberry fruit, generous acidity, robust tannins, and a smoky, spicy finish. Sometimes the nose is teased with a bit of mineral, sometimes a barky sensation. Like our forebearers, we blend extensively with Carignane, but enjoy its rough and tumble individuality as well.
