In my obsessive quest for Carignan, this pretty seaside Rosé brings the suggestion of unruly funk along w raspberries, quince, and pale tannins clinging upon the limestone soil of this little inexpensive gem. — 9 years ago

2014 - closed aromas but with sneaky floral and bees wax scents.. Tight flavor and a little unruly right now. Possibly the most massive Chinon Blanc I've ever had - going to try to lose a couple bottle in the cellar. — 10 years ago

I said it tastes like blood & violets. Maybe it's the unruly Carignan tag teaming w Cinsault on GSM old vines, but the old Occitan defiance to keep secrets is so evident here. Minotaur wine... — 10 years ago

The nose flexes it's minerality muscles right away, while also bringing white cherry, white peach, unripe strawberries still on the vine, and white pepper. Doesn't quite prepare you for the unruly palate. A spice bomb, layered with white/unripe fruits and M+ finish of acidity. A wolf in sheeps clothing. — 9 years ago

I often think of Carignan as the punk rock varietal: unruly & prolific when young, but when old vine Carignan is carefully tended (and these farmers mispronounce it as Kerrigan, hence the funny name) it gains incomparable depths but is still unruly, sauvage, and profound (think Lou Reed...) — 10 years ago
