The 2017 Carignan Sativa comes from own-rooted, head-trained vines planted in 1975. It was made with 100% whole cluster and has a pale to medium ruby-purple color, with a gregarious nose of candied red cherry and blueberry, sage, laurel, violet perfume, pepper and meaty hints. The palate is light to medium-bodied with bright red and blue berries, chalky tannins and great freshness, finishing long.
