Garage Wine Co. Vigno Dry Farmed Old Vines Field Blend Carignan 2019

There are nuances between the three wines produced with Cariñena from Truquilemu and between those from 2018 and 2019, and the 2019 Vigno is the most powerful of the three. But that’s all relative, as the wine is still 13.5% alcohol and has remarkable freshness and balance. But the fruit is a bit darker and the tannins feel a little grainier. But it’s still complex and expansive, with red and blue fruit, herbs and flowers and a medium-bodied palate with a long, lingering finish with resonances of acid berries. Vibrant and brilliant. Drink date: 2021-2029. Score – 98. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Aug. 31, 2021)
