Cantina Giba "6 Mura" Carignano del Sulcis 2013
92
Our Score
(3/2020) Giba in Sardinia produces just 8,000 cases of all bottlings together, but this very-old-vine Carignan reflects a tiny percentage of this production, representing the top-level wine from this winery. The wine features extremely-expressive nose full of smoky red berry, savory green herb that is the perfect combination of fruit and clean dry finish. It is at both abundant in fruit and forward deliciousness, as well as appetizing with harmonious acidity and a long, clean mineral finish. Drinking at its apogee today, and a hit at 2020 "Big Reds" in Barrington. World Class Carignan.

Joan d'Aguera "Planella" Montsant 2016
Crazy Low Price on Super Hip Eric Solmon Spanish Import!
91-92
Wine Advocate
(4/27/2018) "The 2016 Planella is now 75% Carinena and 25% Syrah. It fermented with full clusters and natural yeasts and matured in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months without racking. I previewed the wine just before bottling, once it was out of barrels, blended and ready to be bottled. There is a lot more freshness and precision compared with the 2015. The year was a little cooler, and the vinification was all full cluster (they sold the destemmer in 2012) with foot treading. Their aim is to make a classical wine from the Darmos zone of Montsant, which is more influenced by the Ebro River than the rest of the appellation. The nose is perfumed and subtle, and the palate is medium-bodied and very balanced, terrifically tasty, with a salty twist and very good length. This is the new direction of their wines, and what I tasted should be very much what goes into bottle. 14,000 bottles will be filled in March 2018."

Domaine Lafage "Tessellae - Vieilles Vignes" Cotes Catalanes Carignan 2017
91
Jeb Dunnuck
(11/1/2018) "The 2017 Cotes Catalanes Tessellae Carignan (100% Carignan) comes from the Agly Valley and was brought up all in tank. Blackberries, leather, dried herbs, and licorice notes all emerge from this spicy, medium-bodied, silky Carignan that has terrific purity and elegance. It's another wine from Jean-Marc that over-delivers. Drink it over the coming couple of years."

Chateau d'Oupia "Les Heretiques" Pays d'Herault Rouge 2018
88+
Our Score
(2/2020) This juicy red blend comes from 40 year old Carignan vines grown in and around the Minervois region in southwest France. Fruity and grapey thanks to partial carbonic maceration, this wine also shows real mineral character and lively natural freshness. A super cool red wine and an absurd value!
