The illustrious Bonny Doon is known for creating new world wines done in old world fashion (they also happen to be biodynamic and organic).  This old vine field blend of mostly Carignan is a great example of using the old method of harvesting, vinifying and fermenting grapes from a vineyard without varietal consideration.  
Give it 30-45 minutes of air and you’ll find a versatile, smooth red with black and blueberry fruit, earthy spice and juicy acidity. 
Try it with: Stuffed mushrooms, steak with an herb butter, pork tenderloin with a cherry glaze
