Preston 1999 Carignane (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Carignane California
Winery: Preston / Dry Creek Valley

Not considered a noble varietal, Carignane can offer pleasure, and this one does. ItÕs quite rich and smells and tastes Porty, with dark chocolate and raisin notes, although the official alcohol is a moderate 13.6%. The plummy flavors are powerful, the tannins and acids soft.
