Thin and vinaigry. Carignan is a hard grape to rein in, this attempt didn't change my mind. Searing acidity, like drinking salty rosé.

San Diego carignane with a savory edge. The lifted nose provides a nice counterpoint to the funky, meaty palate. Fun wine. #sdrepresent

A little volatile, but I like that. Also from San Diego which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
