Amplify Wines Carignane 2019, Santa Ynez California
Spontaneous fermentation, unfined, unfiltered, minimal SO2.
This carignan gets 7 days of carbonic maceration before pressing, then spends 9 months in neutral oak. The nose is a clean stable- dusty wood, clean hay, and horses. In the glass it's bright and fresh and cloudy in the way my favorite natural wines are. We taste cranberry and violet and good times on the back deck. Makes me very ready for warm days outside.
