Good value, spice, dried herbs, black cherry, plum, crushed violets, leather and an earthy funk. Interesting.

Fruity and floral! Raspberries, black cherries, and violets. Paired pretty well with pizza. 🍕

Amazing value for the price, and more complex than I expected. Carignan goes through carbonic and it shows through a little bit, but you have to search for it. More pronounced herbs, chalk, and black pepper.
