Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2018

The 2016 Carignan Testa Vineyard is an absolutely delicious wine that screams with varietal character. Sweet red cherry, rose petal and blood orange notes all run through this super-expressive, pliant Carignan. The 2016 is not especially complex, but is impossible to resist.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2018-2024, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2018

Vivid, light style thanks to carbonic maceration. Fresh is an understatement. Great savoury black fruit. Slightly simple but highly drinkable. (RH)

Score 88-89/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2017

Tasted from barrel, the 2016 Carignan Testa Vineyard is bright, pungent and super-expressive, with lifted aromatics, expressive red-toned fruit and striking purity. The short-ish maceration keeps the flavors bright and focused.
