ABOUT US:
With Princess and the Peasant Wines, we aim to celebrate the diversity of the Mendocino County viticultural landscape and winemaking heritage. The 2015 Poor Ranch Carignan is sourced from 74 year old dry farmed vines, and is a unique expression of a variety perfectly adapted to its terroir. Care is taken in the cellar to avoid the edgy tannins and gritty texture that can sometimes give Carignan a bad name. The result is a wine of polish and grace; driven by vivid red fruit, a succulent mouthfeel, and brisk acidity.
Unfortunately, at this time we don’t ship to KY, MS, NH, ND, OK, SD, UT. AK and HI residents are not eligible for the free Ground shipping offer. All orders will be held until weather permits. Please PM me here or Facebook IM me (Dan Rivin) with questions - please keep in mind I live in France!
Thank you all for your time and to the team at Wine Berserkers for making this possible. Cheers! Dan and Stephanie
Order in. We’re big fans of the carignan, especially after a few months’ of sideways time. Unfortunately, they go too fast, so we’re very happy to be able to load up on the new vintage.
I tried making Riesling for a few years, from one of the top RZ vineyards in Northern CA - Greenwood Ridge. I adore the grape and am smitten with its ability to make a broader array of world class styles, from more diverse sources, than any other grape variety. This was my undoing - it’s the only time I’ve gone into a project with the conception of what I wanted my wine to taste like, rather than reacting to the fruit in front of me and letting the vintage drive the decision making. I was making wine to a style that didn’t fit the fruit - I wanted Mosel Riesling. It didn’t work.
That’s what so impresses me about folks like you - your Riesling is unique. It wouldn’t taste the same if any body else make it, from any grapes elsewhere in the world.
After a flurry of requests from readers of the Signal Ridge offer, I’m extending the free upgrade 6-pack to case, with penny shipping, to the first that can answer this trivia question:
*** Signal Ridge is not only a Vineyard, it’s a remote ridge accessed by dirt road, 45 minutes from the town of Philo. Who is our most notorious former resident, who spent a bit of time here in 1968? He died in Bakersfield, in 2017. He’d been in Bakersfield for a long time. Hint: could he have moved on after a few months because he was irriTATEd? ***
