Before it goes, here’s A nice article about our 2015 Carignan from grapelive.com

“shows rich detail and ripe juiciness making for an interesting and flavorful wine of joyous California fruit as well as playing homage to the wines of Corbieres.”

“best spouse” and “best winemaker” are often one of those inverse relationships.

Thanks for the nudge, Kendra. 5 orders picked at random will receive a free gift - a jar of Piment d’ Ville, a sweet, smoky Esplette chili pepper grown right here in the hills outside of Boonville, CA. Berserkers, meet Kendra, she and Nacho grow the chiles.

[Art_R]

Carignan was a star from last year. for sure. The 9 Carignan offer was a no brainer.

• 2015 The Princess and the Peasant Carignan - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (1/27/2018)
  My high esteem for The Princess and The Peasant is sustained by bottlings like this.

Night #1: PnP, the nose was initially reserved, as were the first few sips. Over twenty minutes, dark berries, tinged with bramble and sage, and a tug-of-war between the acidity and tannins promised better things in store. The bottle was re-corked and left on the counter for the evening.

Night #2: The nose became an explosive mix of dark berries and plum. The palate yielded a fascinating combination of brambly red and black field berries, violets. The wine presented a pleasing medium-length finish. The tannins and acidity, not in any way overwhelming, instead contributed to the structure to a beautiful wine. I kept returning to the glass, picking up faint impressions of strawberries and earth, as well as a Pinot Noir-like sensibility in this old-vine Carignan.

The Princess and The Peasant’s inaugural “Poor Ranch” bottling continues to deliver a balance of fruit and savor - a well-crafted wine for the price, guaranteed to please a broad range of wine drinkers.

@Drew Goin

I have to add that the second evening’s tasting of The Princess and The Peasant 2015 “Signal Ridge” Pinot Noir is simply a pleasure to drink.

Lots of delicate strawberry flavors and enough sophistication to elevate it beyond anything approaching the same price point.

For those perpetually asking for a Pinot Noir under $XX, this is the one!
