Carignan

2022 Adelaida District Carignan

The Halter Ranch Carignan from the Adelaida District is an incredibly dynamic red wine that manages to perfectly illustrate the character of this varietal. The 2022 vintage showcases a well-balanced body with a beautiful equilibrium of not too heavy but with a substantial presence that engages the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, creating a delightful mouthwatering experience that complements its fruit-forward nature. Expect a symphony of dark berries, cherries, and a hint of plum, reflecting the high fruit intensity that Carignan is known for. The tannins are notable and firm, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's inherent elegance. This wine is a testament to the meticulous vine care and expert winemaking found in the Adelaida District, making it a splendid choice for those who appreciate a robust yet refined red that delivers both complexity and charm.

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.
