Newfound Carignane, Colombini Vineyard 2018

The Benchland Carignane is sourced entirely from the Colombini Vineyard, a mid-century planting that was installed by Charlie Barra in 1942. The fruit spent a total of 32 days on the skins and was then barreled down to a combination of Austrian and French demi-muids and one clay amphora. Lightly floral with juicy plum, red cherry, underripe blackberry and a Nebbiolo like tar characteristic.
