Harvested from the low-yielding 120 year old vines, grown in the Evangelho vineyard in Contra Costa County. This wine was slowly fermented after a period of cold soaking and pressed to a combination of French, Hungarian and American oak barrels for 17 months. The resulting wine is a classic varietal bottling from this outstanding old vine vineyard. We proudly hand bottled 217 cases unfined and unfiltered.
This wine is big and beautiful offering an elegant nose and lush plump ripe berry on the palate and a beautiful finish. It's great now, but do consider laying down a case of this wine, as I expect it to improve with another year or more in the bottle.
We've been sharing this wine with customers over the past week and getting great feedback. You can find this wine today in four wine shops on the central coast: Lund's in the village of Arroyo Grande, Tastes of the Valleys, Pismo and Solvang locations, and Monterey Street Wines in San Luis Obispo.
Of course you can also order the wine directly from the winery cellar too. This weekend, I'll be pouring the 2008 Carignane at Lund's during this weekend’s Strawberry Festival. To learn more about this wine and one of the craziest days of my life, read the upcoming June Newsletter.
