Donkey & Goat Carignane 2015
Mendocino County, California, United StatesFrom 75-year-old organically-farmed carignan vines, this is from Testa Vineyards' sandstone and loam soils in Mendocino, just over 520m in altitude. After a 10-day maceration, this spent an additional ten months in neutral French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Dusky plum, raspberry, mineral, black cherry, dried thyme is carried with fine, persistent acidity, lifted and bright, all with a persistent perfumed over hue of wild bush blueberry. Bottled unfined and unfiltered (an overt cloudiness) this has a grippy duskiness on the lingering finish. A lovely pour, though wish it was about half the price.Tasted: 02 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
