This refreshing wine has lovely aromas and flavors of cranberry, strawberry and grapefruit. The sweet fruit flavors are nicely balanced by mouth-watering acidity.

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.

This old vine Carignane comes from our 70 year-old Vincenzo Vineyard which is located in the white clay-loam benchland soils near the Calpella Township in Mendocino County. This unique soil and the excellent exposure of this vineyard have combined to produce grapes that are intensely ripe and flavorful.
