The 2021 Carignane (Contra Costa County), from Oakley Road, is gorgeous. Dark and intense, but with terrific energy, the 2021 impresses with its vibrancy. Dark blue fruit, lavender, licorice, spice, sage and crushed rocks all run through this vibrant, layered Carignane. Beams of tannin extend the finish nicely.

Planted in 1900 by same man as the Cinsault planted in 1886. Vibrant blueish crimson. Round and friendly with none of the tart, toughness this variety can sometimes have. (JR)
