Almost a year since I last had this wine, aging gracefully and still quite lovely with lamb and roasted summer vegetables in a cherry tomato sauce. A descendent of last year's fly was about, close to grape season and they are starting to show up. This wine shined with the tomatoes and the basil from my garden, then it really excelled with the lamb. One bottle left but I doubt I will left it go to 2024, too good now.

Except for a fruit fly that dive bombed my glass as soon as I sat down, this was a completely satisfying wine. It is harvest and the vineyards are ripe around me but this little begger wanted to backstroke in my glass instead of looking for a broken berry. Wonderful wine, still aging nicely, in a hold or drink mode right now.

Best value wine, still youthful and full, showed wonderfully with the menu. I would not hold too much longer.

Shared with a grower friend over meat loaf. Carignan can excel.
