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.

Cherry and leather on the nose. More spice and earthiness on palate. Pretty tannic with a long finish.

60% Carignan, 30% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah. This is a great value wine (paid around $13). Floral nose, warm berries on the palate, finishes with faint black pepper, sweet red peppers, black olives, and plum. Medium short finish. Decent acidity, paired well with chicken and mushroom risotto.

Delicious dark fruit, earthy, hint of licorice, so easy to drink. Great with stuffed peppers.
