A tale of two Carignanes. This one bringing more savory and spice, but in a quiet sort of way. Needed food to show its best.

Really want to love this--made from 80 y o carignan vines in Mendocino--but the aromatics devolve into licorice really soon. Also feels like way more alcohol than 13.2 percent but maybe that's a good thing!
