2020 Mule Plane Carignane
2020 marks the inaugural vintage of our Mule Plane Vineyard Carignane, which is located in the Mokelumne River AVA, nestled within the overarching Lodi AVA. This historic 5-acre site is managed by John Shinn and is planted to own-rooted Carignane, which dates back nearly 100 years. On the palate, the wine is balanced, bright, and laden with juicy flavors of red cherry, cranberry, thyme, and a touch of white pepper. Mule Plane gets its name from the mule-drawn plane that John Shinn’s grandfather regularly saw his uncle using to level the field before planting. The site is Lodi Rules Sustainable certified.
