Calder Wine Company Carignane 2015

From Mendocino vines planted in 1942 and 1952 in shallow infertile soil, limiting yields to a meager 1 ton of fruit per acre. There’s an intensely savory edge to the fruit: vivacious blackberry and raspberry aromas, with stones, smoke, celery seeds, and wild herbs. The palate is rich and generous, with plenty of structure from Carignane’s characteristic acidity and tannin. 211 cases.
