Our Red Wines
Our goal at Carina cellars is to produce top-quality wines that showcase and emphasize terroir above all else. Santa Barbara County vineyards produce some of the most intriguing and intense Rhône grapes possible, from which we are able to produce spicy Syrah's, earthy Mourvedre and fruit-laden Grenache. We are also very fortunate to be able to obtain Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a premier Napa Valley vineyard. These grapes become an integral part of our Iconoclast blend as well as a blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our current red wine list includes:
Clairvoyant 2004

A classic Chateauneuf du Pape blend, this wine is composed of the three most noble Rhône varietals. On the nose, aromas of bright blackberries, raspberries and cherries jump from the glass while background notes of coffee, leather, and sweet herbs mask an underlying hint of dried strawberries. And while the palate is loaded with blueberry, blackberry, and boysenberry with a light, toasty oak flavor, the perceptive mind will also notice a sage, clove, and spicy cherry finish that leaves a lasting impression. The bright fruit of this wine makes it an excellent match with grilled quail beneath a raisin port sauce although the underlying tannins indicate this wine will peak between 2007 and 2009. 214 cases produced.
Clairvoyant is paired with our featured recipe: Risotto alla Jody
