This was too intriguing not to try and highly recommended by the somm. A carignan blanc de blanc from Baja Mexico was just the type of unusual that we usually gravitate to. Pale lemon in the glass, restrained nose, palate is bone dry with lip smacking, electric acidity, fruits are tart, green apple, gooseberry, melon rind, racy acidity, medium body, long finish. Overall the acid seemed out of balance and too overpowering.

i was intrigued and looking forward to trying this wine. i certainly didnt know what expect. A carignan blanc. surely a new one or me. I will say the wine was not bad, but i was looking for a bit more from this wine, I guess I wanted to compare it to Grenache Blanc. I would love to try another version of this grape as this was my first Carignan blanc. If you find one, try it and let me know what you think.
