This trio is perfect to have on hand for summer entertaining and BBQs.
2006 Carignane
Carignane originated in the Cariñena district of Spain has been embraced by vintners in France, Italy and California. This grape is valued for its deep purple color, firm tannins and bold flavors that run towards fruity and spicy. Alderbrook’s 2006 Carignane comes form an old vine vineyard growing in Dry Creek Valley, specifically at School House Creek Vineyard. We find the grape’s sturdy structure, deep color and briary fruit flavors harmonize to make a rustic charmer of a wine. Winemaker Bryan Parker chose not to blend any other varietal into this wine so it is 100% Carignane, making it a true representation of the varietal.
2006 Old Vine Zinfanel
Surprisingly polished and well-mannered, this Old Vine Zinfandel delivers juicy fruitfulness spiked with the spicy, black pepper notes expected of the varietal. The brambly berry tones are one part of this charming wine’s appeal. The wine’s pleasant softness and managed tannins assures its ability to match with an assortment of foods. A great wine for summer barbecues.
