Carignan

2007 Mendoza Carignan

Familia Cecchin Carignan from the Mendoza region is a delightful expression of this varietal, showcasing a vibrant ruby red color typical of well-crafted Carignan. The wine boasts a full-bodied profile, giving it a substantial mouthfeel that lingers beautifully on the palate. Its acidity is pronounced, adding a refreshing brightness that perfectly balances the richness of the fruit. Expect to encounter intense notes of ripe blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness, enhancing its complexity. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's elegance. As a dry red, this vintage from 2007 is remarkably approachable, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
