Good times never felt so good! The 133 year old carignan vines of Domaine Ferrer Ribiere, Cotes Catalanes VdP, "Empreinte du Temps", 2010 sang a sweet old song of pure gulpable fruit, tons of fresh squeezed ripe raspberries with a spearminty note on the end delivered simple yet pretty and uncomplicated pleasure. Beaujolais of the South. 14% and keeping the vines dancing is a treasure to behold, and at under twenty bucks, a bargain. If Uncle Mordecai were alive, he would raise a glass and his baritone voice pronoucing "luuuuuussssshhhhhuuss...lusssshhhussssss".
Sweet Carignan...
