France
Carignan is often referred to as a "structure" grape, but this lighter rendition from Riberach shows just how much charm this once-Spanish varietal can have. Opening with a nose of rocky minerality and light intimations of cherry and cranberry, the palate is surprisingly expressive with a beautiful core of red fruit. Earth and vibrancy characterize the finish in this skillfully rendered wine. Decant or allow to open in the glass for half an hour for best results. CHERRY EARTH BOUNCY EXPRESSIVE JUICY
A wine like this is great on its own, but it also begs for some barbecue. Grill some mushrooms for a vegetarian pairing, or accompany with grilled chicken, prawns, or pork chops, with light, olive oil-laden salads with plenty of herbs.
