Carinena
Filter
Carinena is a red wine grape most often grown in Chile and in the regions of Aragon, Rioja, Catalunya, and Navarra in Spain. Carinena displays notes of blackberry, licorice, and can be spicy and earthy on the pallet. Carinena is often used in Crianza blends. In Spain there is a designated plateau in Aragon called “Campo de Carinena”. This area is one of the oldest protected growing region in Europe dating all the way back to 1932. It is most famous for producing Priorot and Monstant wines. Carinena is commonly used as a blending grape, but is now beginning to produce its own single variety wines. Carinena will contribute acidity, rich dark color, hints of cherry, and increase of tannins while blending. The wine produced from Carinena is paired best with cheeses such as blue, fontina, and gouda. It also pairs wonderfully with game and seafood.

Terra Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon Importers Reserve 2012 is 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
The color is a deep red. The nose is lifted with delightful floral notes of wild roses. In addition the nose also shows characters of currants, green beans and roasted capsicum. the palate has intense blackcurrant fruit complimented by coffee, nutmeg and dried herbs. The palate is medium bodied with sweet berry fruits right through to the finish. The seamless tannins are soft and silky, adding further complexity to this well balanced wine.
Drink this one over the next 5 to 7 years.
Avennia Cabernet Franc Champoux Vineyard is made from 100% Cabernet Franc.
This very limited bottling shows the compelling potential of Cabernet Franc from a top vineyard. Though it’s often used as a spice in Avennia's Bordeaux blends, this wine, from the legendary Champoux Vineyard, has its own unique character and complexity that convinced them to feature it alone.
“Featuring a dark garnet color, this year’s Cabernet Franc opens with dark red cherry, boysenberry, damp earth, winter mint, and hints of rose petal on the nose. The palate is weighty, full-bodied, and complex, with mulberry, tobacco leaf, earthy notes, and savory herbs, kept lively with bright acidity. One of the standouts of the vintage, this beauty can stay in the cellar another year or two, and be enjoyed over the following decade plus." - Chris Peterson, Winemaker
Review:
"From a cooler site in the Horse Heaven Hills and all varietal, the 2017 Cabernet Franc Champoux Vineyard has brilliant notes of crème de cassis, red plums, chocolate, spice, flowery incense, and cedarwood. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and balanced on the palate, it shows the elegance and purity of the vintage yet still packs plenty of opulence and texture. It’s one of the finest expressions of this variety I’ve tasted from Washington State. Drink this beauty any time over the coming 10-15 years.”
