Carignan – 2018; Bingham Family Vineyards; Meadow, Texas

The estate vineyard of Bingham has been a long-time popular grower of top-quality fruit in Texas for numerous wineries.  Though you may tend to find this grape as a blending varietal elsewhere, it does make a great single varietal to enjoy. Grown in the Texas High Plains AVA, this 2018 estate vintage has lovely floral notes with a touch of rose petals. Add to that, some cranberry and blackberry notes along with a bit of smoke. Sip a few times, and you might discern a bit of pepper in there along with a touch of vanilla. This red wine jewel has medium tannins and about the same for acidity. It’s a finely crafted Carignan, so enjoy. Cheers!
