Exotic nose of Asian spices, and blueberry pie. Mouth-coating and rich yet devoid of heat. Fuzzy finish. Nicely integrated and fun wine

Impossible to comment fairly two days ago given the boisterous overripe character, yet now the wine is so dead and advanced, I wonder when the grapes were picked. I fear this is not "quintessential" Carignane as some would like to imagine. Drink this wine within the first hour of opening for a deep dip into one dimensional fruity territory. Would rather drink the profoundly brett-y Sandlands Carignane.

An ever more quintessential example of Carignane's underrated charm.

Medium ruby red, I'm not fond of the nose, a little volatile and a little funk, bright red cherries, cranberries and bay leaf. Chewy tart tannins, lacks polish or age or both. Still, cool to find #carignan from #mendocinowine

Aug 23rd, 2016Brambly raspberries and sweet spices. Balanced acidity and a savory finish. I'm really like the fruit coming out of the Colombini vineyard!

Raspberry, bramble & white pepper nose. Vibrant, uplifting acidity with dense black fruit, mocha & spice. Insane value...
