2019 Contra Costa Carignane
Fruit for our 2019 Carignane is sourced from the Sandy Lane Vineyard in Contra Costa, the same vineyard site as our Rosé of Carignane. All grapes are hand harvested and spontaneously fermented with whole clusters prior to aging for 18 months in neutral oak barrels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
Variety: 100% Carignane
Tasting notes: Bright and fruity with a little spice, the 2019 Post & Vine Contra Costa Carignane is engaging and vibrant. Raspberry, blackberry and plummy fruit combine with fresh aromas of crushed rock and earthy spice followed by hints of violets and a silky texture. Lighter in body than the Testa Vineyard Old Vine Field Blend, and made from 120-year-old vines planted in the sandy soils of Contra Costa, this wine is fun and fresh and can be served slightly chilled.
