"Irreverant" Rosé Carignane, 2019
Produced by Riaza Wines
This is what happens when you take some really old Carignane (like pushing the century mark) and turn it into a dad-ass rosé. All fresh strawberry up front, the wine's surprising depth and acidity keep things exciting. The bone-dry finish hangs around longer than you might expect.

A Place In History
This rosé comes from a grape (Carignane) that's been grown in Lodi since before Zinfandel.
Notable Viticulture Technique
The juice was left on the skins for all of 90-minutes prior to being pressed off.
Rare Varietal
Though Carignane has a long and storied history in California, it can be hard to track down.
