About the Wine: Carignan is well known as . . . Just kidding, this one is pretty is obscure. Carignan is a grape originally cultivated in France and used mostly for blending. Like many other French reds it grows better in South America than it does in its mother country.
About THIS Wine: The center is purple with a violet rim. The nose is very floral with notes of violet and orange blossoms. The palate is thick and velvety with a lot of orange and hints of green pepper. The finish is pleasantly syrupy.
Drinking This Wine: This Carignan is a little too overbearing for a sipping wine. It would go well with meaty dishes like beef and noodles or steak.
Overall Impression: It is expensive but worth it. This Carignan is reasonable for the price.
