Lodi Carignane

Thomas Allen Ancient Carignane showcases a vibrant red hue that invites you to explore its depths. Hailing from the renowned Lodi region, this wine embodies the lush, sun-drenched terroir that contributes to its distinctive character. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied experience, balancing a lively acidity that provides a refreshing lift and a fruit-forward profile bursting with dark cherries and ripe blackberries. The tannins are smooth and subtly integrated, enhancing the wine's drinkability without overwhelming the palate. This Carignane is impeccably dry, allowing the purity of its fruit to shine through, making it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary pairings.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
