Minus Tide Trimble Ranch Vineyard Carignan Rosé 2025 Review

Though often incorporated as part of the blend, it’s rare to see a rosé made with 100 percent Carignan — and even more rare to find one made from 83-year-old vines in Mendocino, Calif. This unique expression from Minus Tide, winery founded in 2017 that focuses on crafting wines influenced by Mendocino’s many environmental features, from the coastal fogs and breezes to the tall over of old-growth Redwood trees. Grapes for this particular bottling were sourced from a small block of old vine Carignan on the organic, dry-farmed Trimble Ranch vineyard. The warm site leads to a lively rosé with notes of ripe peaches, melon, and strawberries, with a saline minerality.
