The best Carignane we've tasted. Very Zin-like in its velvet texture and forward fruit. Delightlful spicy nose, and somewhat reminiscent of a Syrah in its dark berry and cassis flavors and finish. The first wine Ridge has made from this vineyard, and we certainly hope it's not the last. What a find! - WB Team 2001-07-04
