a truly lovely carignane, organically grown, dry-farmed and from a single vineyard, a 100% varietal example of how well carignane can grow in mendocino when well-tended and allowed to be itself. rich, luxurious and smooth, the wine is also dark and brooding, incredibly fruity, like a liquid cherry-raspberry tart topped with vanilla ice cream.
