100% Old Vine Carignan. Dark crimson/purple color. Aromas of black cherry/berry fruit, hot asphalt and mushroom. The palate features ripe blackberry, black cherry, black plum fruit with additional notes of graphite and black pepper. Extremely earthy. Medium-plus body, acidity and finish. Plush and well rounded with slightly chewy tannins. Interesting and delicious!
