Wine Details
Price:
$13.99 per bottle
Description:
Carignane (pronounced: kar-in-yane; or in California: kar-i-gan) is little-known in the U.S., but is the most widely-planted grape in France. The grapes for this wine were harvested in Lodi, CA from 53-year old vines to produce a very concentrated, fruity, and interesting red wine. The wine was barrel-aged in American oak. Aromas suggest mixed berry-especially boysenberry, cherry, plum, and a wisp of prune. Moderate complexity brings forth flavors of oak, vanilla, butter, a hint of chocolate, and moderate tannins. Enjoy this wine with a variety of game, tomato-based sauces, red meat dishes, and sturdy cheeses. Serve at 65-70 degrees.
