The saturated purple 2006 Amplus Carignan, aged in new oak for 18 months, delivers scents of underbrush, brier, earth notes, and blackberry. Intense and ripe with plenty of old-vine character, it will blossom over the next 5-7 years and offer prime drinking from 2015 to 2026. Santa Ema makes reliably excellent wines at fair prices from the bottom to the top of its portfolio.Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; Tel: (800) 924-0030
