  October 1, 2022 - Garage Wine Co. “Lot 67” Carignan Field Blend 2015, Maule Valley. If you’re experiencing flashbacks, no, this isn’t the Garage Wine Co. Vigno that sold out a few weeks ago, but both wines are related: this Lot 67 is essentially declassified Vigno. Sharing the same source vines (farmed by hand and horse by the Orellana family), the higher-acid, more ageable barrels go into Vigno but the tastes-awesome-now barrels of dry-farmed Carignan (with a small dose of Mataro/Mourvèdre) build this sexy beast Lot 67, which is a fuller, rounder wine. The ancestral farming is followed by near-ancestral winemaking, non-temperature-controlled ferments with old barrel aging and minimal sulphite additions, but there is no “natural” vibe to this: the nose is full of earth, smoked meat, blue fruit and flowers, and drinks much smoother than its famous older brother. 94 points Robert Parker, 18 bottles available, $53.98 +tax

  February 10, 2022 - Good but not quite the punchy clarity and intensity I hope for in a quality carignan.

  November 12, 2019 - I have read many reviews about this wine and finally came across it here in Chile. This wine had a dark intensity with a purple hue. Aromatic notes included black licorice, black cherry, green herbs and a slight smokiness. On the palate this wine had tart cherry and red plum skin. There is intense focus in the beginning with the tannins. It builds up in the middle of the palate and slowly fades leaving intense red fruit throughout the mouth. Also a long finish.
