Thirty six months of ageing in French and American oak barrels have softened the wine and added complexity to the intense aromas and full flavors of ripe plum, dark fruits and earth.
Carignane is an old-world variety originally from Spain that worked its way into southern France, where it has become one of the most important varietals grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, alongside Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Mendocino County is the largest producer of Carignane in the premium wine growing regions of California, with the majority of the vineyards being old-vine.
