- Ruby color - An interesting and tasty blind. Light ruby red and guessing a thin skinned grape. No front palate but sweet mid palate. I got cherry fruits suggesting Pinot Noir but others did not. Not as tannic as a Sangiovese or Nebbiolo would suggest. Raspberry and nicely acidic. 100% Carignane. Who knew? Drink now to 2020.

Lovely nose! Deep, rich fruit (berry and crisp apple), floral (the label says lilac, and it's so true!), and a bit of green pepper. The palate unveils orange peel, licorice, tobacco, and talc. Light and drinkable, but intriguing and satisfying. Especially at this price point, a surprisingly pleasant little wine. Would definitely buy it again.

Deep red with violet rim.
Nose of ripe cherry and minerals.
Mostly fruit in the palate. Traces of the new world. Minerals and powerful dark fruit.
