March 31, 2024 - Was driving up Westside Rd one Saturday a dozen years back with Not647f on our way to Mauritson when we came upon DaVero and we drawn in by RFs love of Italian varieties. Came home with this wine and it’s been sitting in the cellar ever since. Like the ‘11 Turley Cab it was time to open this ‘11 Carignano. From 100+ year old head pruned vines, biodynamically farmed. Color is brilliant ruby red, nose is shy on fruit but with a more earthy/meaty component of roasted red meat and mushroom. Juicy sour cherry, ripe raspberry and strawberry fruit notes pulled together with ample acidity, almost mouth puckering. Medium bodied, tart red berries with tannins coming in on the mid-palate. The fruit turns to cherry Jolly Rancher on the finish and remains tart with a medium grip. Very enjoyable, food friendly wine.
