Redwood Valley, California— Beautiful, pure and elegant single-vineyard Carignan from Ricetti Vineyard vinified by shop fave Rosalind Reynolds aka Emme Wines. A fresh, crunchy brighter style of Carignan— medium-bodied with delicate tannins. Cherry, brambly red fruit, dried raspberry, baking spice with earthy undertones. Highly delicious. Organic. Low S02.
100% organically-farmed Carignan, drawn from the single vineyard Ricetti in the Redwood Valley AVA in Mendocino. The fall Carignan from Ricetti is the same fruit as the ‘enhorabuena’ spring rosé, but picked a few weeks later for more color, more tannin and a higher final alcohol. The fruit for the red Carignan was partially foot crushed and placed into tank 100% whole cluster. As it began to ferment and soften after a few days, it was further foot crushed to extract more color and texture from the skins. After 10 days on skins, the Carignan was pressed to tank to finish fermentation. Once dry, it was barreled down to neutral oak barriques and one neutral oak puncheon. In late March, Carignan was racked to tank for bottling. Indigenous yeast fermentation. 10 ppm SO2 at bottling, no other additions, unfined and unfiltered.
