Description:
Carignane, one of the first grape varietals to make it to Sonoma County from the Old World, has been grown on the Trentadue Estate since the 1860's. Originating in North Africa and common throughout southern France, northern Spain and many parts of Italy, it is largely used for village wines such as Cotes du Rhone, making it rather unknown for a grape as widespread as it is. Our 2003 Carignane displays a dark purple color, a jammy and spicy nose and is packed with flavors of cranberry, raspberry and red cherry. All of this is supported on a firmly tannic backbone.
