Ancient Vines Carignane

Ancient Vines Carignane Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Carignane holds the distinction of being one of the most widely planted red grape in France. It is also grown abundantly in Italy, Spain, Algeria and Israel and was once the most planted varietal in the new world. It has traditionally been used as a blending grape with good tonnage yields, excellent acid and big tannins. Cline Cellars is one of a few wineries to produce the wine as a varietal. Dark ruby in color, our Ancient Vines Carignane has a firm structure and shows aromas of cedar, clove and nutmeg and flavors of plum and dark berries. It’s a perfect match for grilled meats, pasta dishes, even pizza with goat cheese.
