To hear Jancis Robinson tell it, carignane is kind of a shit grape. I disagree but would say that night 2 definitely better than night one. Tannins were a bit rough at first but smoothed out by the end. Just don’t drink carignan from France and stick to hot and dry climes.

I’ve never seen so much sediment in one bottle. Does it qualify as natural wine? It’s so good.

Bright fruit. Very smooth for an organic grape! Thx to our friends, The Campagna's

Ripe, bright fruit with balance and structure. I love those organic grapes.

Decent - light tannins and one bright fruit note. Would be better with a little more structure.
