Brilliant old vine Carignan. Deeply mineral and structured. Great acidity. Dee-lish.

Superbly fresh in the 2014 vintage. Tons of acid and fruit but a surprising amount of complexity as it opens up. Perfect for a transitional red.

Way more floral with cherries and herbs than the 2015. I think I prefer the 15. Still great.

Absolutely beautiful wine. Berry, Bramble and enough acidity to tickle my fancy. Fruit is perfectly balanced.

What a jewel! I've never come across Carignan so light on its feet, both in structure and fruit composition. Reminiscent of great Cru Beaujolais.
