Deep, dark ruby with thinnish edges. Rustic notes on the nose with dried strawberries, cocoa powder, and nutmeg. This is most definitely American Carignane done right. More similar to Priorat wines than Southern France, this gives you all the gravely characteristics that you want from the varietal. On the palate, savory is the word of the day. Dark chocolate, cedar, dusty leather, herbs, and a good bit of allspice. Black cherries and hints of pomegranates provide the fruit. Great structure and really nice acidity to go along with the 12.1 makes this a winner.
