Tres Sabores 2018 Ancient Vine Carignane
130 Year Old Vines Contra Costa | Mendocino
This gives the fruit tremendous intensity and
depth, backed by lightning-rod acidity. The Cemetery vineyard, planted 1954, is
dry-farmed in almost pure gravel, and contributes bright cherry fruit and
aromatic lift.
The resultant wine features vivacious blackberry and raspberry aromas inflected withan iron-like mineral complexity. Carignane has an intensely savory edge to its fruit: stones, smoke, and celery seeds, evoking the wild herbs and rocks of itshomeland in the Priorat of Spain.
