| It's hard out there for a Carignane. Talk about underappreciated, this grape never seems to catch the attention it deserves. We've done our part for years now, and this'07 Dry Creek Valley Carignane is another notch on our belt. We price ourselves on making these sleeper varietals into grape hits. We're like music talent scouts, scavenging the best vineyards looking for the next big thing. But unlike those sell-outs, we're in it for the music, man, not the money. And this Carignane is alllll music. Classic Carignane red fruit on the nose with pumpkin spice layering riffs over a cherry rhythm section. And you know that it's going to follow up the opening with some more bright red cherries on the palate, carmelized brown sugar, and that rich taste of stone fruit... nectarines come in with a lead guitar solo and this Carignane finished long... back onstage for an encore. My money says this Carignane is going multi-platinum. |
