Cherries. Plums. Berries. Tons of red fruit with so much acid and earth. Minerality through the roof like Burgundy. With accompanying acid. And some tannin that really sticks around. Love this wine. — 7 years ago

Finding what I've been looking for in Carricante. It's got a marsanne/roussane-like nose with banana peel, the blossoms of some rich tropical fruit, and some sage or Cali bay leaf. The phenolic are nicely reigned in, and it has something of that weightless, rainwater characteristic that the Benanti Pietramarina has in such abundance. Little fruit on the palate, just texture, acid, and minerality. Faintly tannic finish. — 10 years ago
