About the wine
Get cozy with this sultry, barrel-aged red
Rich and robust with a mouthfilling smoothness, this Carignan’s bounty of plum, cranberry and raspberry flavors dance alongside a touch of vanilla and toasty spice.
Your funding gave Evangelos an all-access pass to an exclusive Lodi vineyard full of 50-year-old Carignan vines and allowed him to age the wine in French oak for a full 10 months to bring you this racy, perfectly refined red.
- With your help Evangelos explored Carignan as its very own standalone wine. It has a great natural liveliness that goes perfectly with red meat, while its cranberry flavors shine with poultry — grab a bottle and get cozy!
Best before
This Carignane is ready to enjoy now and is best drunk while young, but it will continue to develop in the next 10 years.
Serving advice
I recommend decanting the Carignane before enjoying it. Tastes best at a temperature between 60-65°F
Food match
Carignane has a great natural acidity that works great with red meat and the cranberry notes pair perfectly with poultry. I think this Carignane will be great with your thanksgiving dinner. My favorite pairing would be with Manchego cheese cheese and a traditional Greek beef stew in tomato sauce.
