"The 2023 Carignane (Contra Costa County) is a potent, explosive wine. Tiny yields produced an exceptionally deep, concentrated Carignane. Black fruit, leather, menthol, licorice and mocha are all dialed up to the maximum. Pretty floral overtones from the whole clusters lend notable brightness. All this needs is time to shed some baby fat."
