We’ve always been intrigued by Carignan, a misunderstood variety that often gets planted where it doesn’t belong. When it’s treated right, it's a thing of beauty: juicy, brambly, and spicy. 2022 was a banner year for our Carignan. 

This wine opens up with a nose of super intense red licorice (Twizzlers even), pomegranate, and dried cherry. The palate is quite expressive with flavors of bright cherry, raspberry, mineral, and spice. There is a controlled mid-palate that will expand with time if you allow it to open up. The finish is long with mineral intensity and quite supple tannin. This wine is a perfect partner to pair with chargrilled foods or Tandoori meats.
