Thanks Carmine! This was delicious. 2014. Wonderful acidity with a fruiting sweetness that is refreshing not cloying. — 8 years ago

In 2006 Campari stopped using Carmine, a dye from crushed Cochineal beetles, to get their signature colour and started using artificial dyes. Nice to find a killer, natural alternative. Once you've had a Gran Negroni there is no turning back! — 8 years ago

2001 - rosso di gamma granata coesa, il registro aromatico si sviluppa intorno a frutti scuri dove i sentori di terra smossa, cuoio e foglie di tabacco completano il cerchio che si traduce in un sorso di estrema vigoria gustativa. Un energico gioco tra pesi in solido equilibrio, seguito da un finale dal chiaro estratto tannico e una componente decisamente sapida. — 9 years ago

Nice smoky nose with dried tobacco, peanut oil, iodine, mint and eucalyptus. In the mouth the tannin and acid is still youthful with crisp red apple skin and a hint of grandma's attic peaking thru the finish. — 9 years ago

Caratteristiche: colore rosso rubino molto intenso con riflessi granata. Profumo ricco, complesso, di notevole concentrazione e spessore; si evidenziano in particolare sentori di frutta rossa e piccoli frutti, di sottofondo alcune spezie mentose, vaniglia e liquirizia. Sapore generoso, di gran corpo e notevole struttura, perfetto amalgama dei caratteri del vitigno e dell’apporto del legno, in un insieme di grande morbidezza e gran classe. Accompagna grandi piatti di carne, arrosti, anche con salse, formaggi stagionati. — 10 years ago

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ivo Jeramaz on my last visit to Napa Valley. He's the nephew of winemaking legend, Mike Grgich and has taken the lead in much of the wineries day-to-day operations along with Mike's daughter, Violet. Ivo is a quiet and thoughtful in his speech—and his wines seem to reflect this. The 2012 Merlot is carmine-hued, and is more transparent than most Merlot I've encountered from Napa Valley. It possesses a kind of quiet restraint and lovely finesse with nuanced aromas of red currant, pie cherries, dried herbs and underbrush intertwining fine tannins a tart acidity. 14.0% ABV | Sample

I get a kick out of Kramer Vineyards showcasing the hybrid Carmine grape, mated from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Merlot. This Rosé from a cold Oregon vintage is juicy, unexpectedly floral like a bit of Colombard snuck in (but it didn't), and a li'l spiced w earthy masala spices, especially whiffs of cinnamon. Lamb meatballs alfresco on the patio would be so nice! — 8 years ago

AJ 90/100 - Mi sono avvicinato a questo rosso con una "indigestione" di bollicine, ma non posso non apprezzarlo! Rosso granata tipico, fitto, naso con frutta in conserva, rosa, note di bosco, note salmastre, forse lievemente animale, può risultare sgraziato a chi non ama questo genere di aromi, in bocca potente ma fine, incredibile acidità e freschezza, finale infinito. Per me comunque un grande vino. — 8 years ago

Light to medium bodied. Rich and complex -- very earthy wine plus some raspberry and cherry and some almost tar/smoke. And roses. Also the smell of good quality, cloudy honey. Very interesting. Tannins are soft after 11 years, but still there. Medium finish. — 9 years ago

Produced by a very small vineyard in Avondale, PA (yes, Pennsylvania!) this is an indulgent estate grown dry Rosato with depth and a lingering dry finish. Limited production. Excellent pairing with cheese and charcuterie. — 9 years ago
