Good structure, distinct tartness like baked plums. I didn't get quite as much on the finish as I was hoping for, though there was some nice smokiness throughout.

Retail $19. 100% Carignan. You do not see a ton of Carignan, particularly a 100% varietal wine. But here we go. Medium ruby color, with smoky fruit aromas (blackberry, cassis, and maybe plum) in the glass. The palate is a surprising departure from the nose as it's tart, quite tart, in fact, with sour cherry, a touch of under-ripe blackberry, and just a hint of smoke. This is really a tale of two wines and I personally prefer the one I find on the palate, which is really the one that counts, no? thedrunkencyclist.com

I quite liked this wine, and would buy it again. Full body but very smooth taste that lasted throughout the bottle

Too much green cherry and tartness. Could be a bit more complex
