Villalobos
Viñedo Silvestre Carignane
Spicy strawberry and Bing cherry with some nice funky fresh forest floor. Made by a crazy Frenchman from 100+ yr old gnarly bush vine Carignane.

Oct 2nd, 2013Alpine strawberries grapefruit and cherries, light bodied, with a little bit of tannins. Great salinity and clear acid. This would be a great red wine to drink on a porch in the summer.
