2023 Emme Wines 'For You Anything' Carignan

2023 Emme Wines 'For You Anything' CarignanWe all have our favorites, and for Rosalind? That's Carignan, an essential if oft misunderstood variety in the history of California winemaking, and a chief component of a number of Rosalind's wine. 'for you, anything' is a fresh, crunchy expression of old vine Carignan from Ricetti, foot stomped, slowly fermented, and aged for a short time in neutral barrel. This isn't the old jug wine side of Carignan; instead, it's bright, lively, and overflowing

made from Marsanne and Roussanne grown on steep granite slopes

we find perfect ripeness

This is his Chenin 101

No oak here

we’ll say we were among the first to have understood his greatness

this is a food pairing dream wine (Indian food all day and all night

with savory dark fruit notes: think muddled blackberry

Notes of ripe cherry

and smooth spices

This one’s neither sweet nor extracted nor inky

From this chaotic scrum emerged just one bottle of wine as the best of the bunch…Super-rich
