100% Carignane from 8 acres of own-rooted vines planted by Joseph Spenker in 1900, now owned and farmed by the Jessie’s Grove Winery. The wine was made with semi-carbonic fermentation, 100% whole-cluster and native yeasts. Bottled without fining or filtration after maturing for 10 months in neutral oak barrels.

"The 2021 Carignane from Jessie's Grove is fabulous. Rich, deep, and dynamic, the 2021 is done in a style that shows quite a bit of transparency. Crush red/blue fruit, rose petal, lavender and mint are beautifully delineated in a nervy, brilliant wine that impresses with its energy and nuance. The 100% whole clusters add quite a bit of nuance, without dominating the balance."
