Old Vines Sweet Berry Wine Carignan
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Great nose of fresh raspberries. Muddled, carbonic. Good acidity on the palate, but the fruit didn’t follow through. Awesome reference.

Sweet Berry Wine!! While this wine was definitely not sweet, the berries (cran and rasp) were very juicy and fresh; the perfect pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. This vintage was a very interesting and well-balanced blend dominated by carignan. And not a drop of this was spit out. No way, José! 52% Carignan, 25% Zinfandel, 12% Charbono, 11% Petite Sirah. 11/24/22

Says sweet but it’s surprisingly well balanced. Dry, with a hint of tannin, it’s light/medium bodied with a VERY floral nose, with hints of pine sap and raspberry enfolding deep. The palate is long, with ripe and tart red fruits up front, a prominent acidity, and a dry finish, with long lingering notes that are slight vegetal, with hints of black tea ending in a gentle minerality. Much better than I had expected!
