Wine Flavor Profile
Late Arrival is a medium-bodied red wine with expressive aromas of dried cranberry, red raspberry, and summer fruit compote. Look for the same flavors on the palate. A soft and silky texture introduces the lush, gently spiced finish.
If you’ve yet to try a pure expression of Carignane (or would like another taste), you’re in for a real treat with Late Arrival. This luscious California exclusive showcases just how fabulous this grape variety can be.
Due to its tendency to ripen late, Carignane (aka, Carignan in France and Cariñena in Spain) has historically been relegated to red-wine blends—but it takes center stage in Late Arrival. Thanks to the Lodi region’s warm, sunny climate and superb 2021 vintage, the Carignane grapes had ample time to ripen to perfection and develop major flavor intensity.
A lovely purple color shines through in the glass, introducing dried cranberry and red raspberry aromas. With a silky-smooth texture and lush, gently spiced finish, Late Arrival will delight with roasted duck, dark-meat turkey or rich vegetarian dishes.
“One of the top wine regions in the country.”
