Questions about Erggelet Brothers Contra Costa County "Carignane" 2019
- What does Contra Costa Carignan taste like?
- Carignan from here is bright and a little wild, with tart red cherry, cranberry and a dusty, earthy edge. Acidity is high and tannins are firm, so it drinks livelier and lighter than most California reds.
- Why is Contra Costa County known for Carignan?
- The county has some of California's oldest Carignan vines, many of them planted in deep sandy soil. Old vines on sand give small, concentrated crops with good acidity, which suits this grape.
- What food goes with Erggelet Brothers Carignane?
- Grilled sausages, roast chicken and tomato-based dishes all match its acidity. Serve it a touch cool, around cellar temperature, so the red fruit stays fresh and the tannins do not feel heavy.
