Bethel Rd Winery Carignane

2021 Templeton Gap District Carignane

The Bethel Rd. Winery Carignane from the 2021 vintage captures the unique essence of the Templeton Gap District, an acclaimed winegrowing region celebrated for its optimum mesoclimate conducive to cultivating exceptional wines. This remarkable red wine showcases a vibrant ruby hue and an enticing aroma profile that melds blackcurrant and red fruit with subtle undertones of spice and earth. On the palate, it delivers a medium-bodied experience, perfectly balanced with a notable acidity that enlivens the senses, making each sip utterly refreshing. The tannins are structured yet approachable, providing a pleasant grip without overwhelming the taste buds. The fruit intensity is beautifully pronounced, offering a luscious medley of flavors that harmoniously blend, finishing with a delightful length. This Carignane is a testament to Bethel Rd. Winery’s dedication to crafting superb, food-friendly wines, ideal for pairing with an array of dishes or enjoyed on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
