The last of my Ed Sellers wines... The wine held up remarkably these 11 years with a touch of deep red fruit remaining but plenty of tertiary interest to be found. Acid soft but still in check and fully integrated tannins to round things out. One of Amy Butler's wines... be sure to check out here Carignans under her Rancho Cellars label.

Brown-tinged dark ruby. Strawberry pie, oak, earth and spice nose. Full bodied, dirty raspberries, pepper, chocolate cherries, well integrated tannins, tobacco, sharp acid, and a long finish. Good with food and good without. Very nice wine.

Slightly cloudy dark red. Strawberry, earth, and vanilla nose. Medium bodied, thickly spiced raspberries, chocolate cherries, white pepper, full grainy tannins, good acid, smokey tobacco, and a medium+ finish with a bit of pucker. This was good on day 1, but even better on day 2.

With a little cellar time, this is becoming spectacular. Popped, poured, and enjoyed!
