Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2009

($24) Bright ruby. Fresh strawberry and raspberry aromas are complemented by subtle floral and brown spice qualities. Nervy and finely etched, offering sweet red berry flavors, good spicy cut and no obvious tannins. Very easy to drink, with good tangy lift and bitter cherry skin persistence. This excellent value is always quick to sell out at the estate.

Like red silk

Carignan

The Carignan grape suffers from the curse of high yields. Until recently the most widely planted red-wine grape in France, Carignan comes from vines that can produce as much as 11 tons of fruit per acre. These high yields mean that there's plenty of wine to go around; often more than the market can handle. This lack of interest is exacerbated by the...
