Emme Wines "For You, Anything" Carignan 2025

“For You, Anything” is a perfect vehicle to showcase Carignan’s more delicate and elegant side. Crunchy and bright, this beautiful medium-bodied wine is full of red fruit, baking spices and earth, with a brambly undertone.

This Carignan is harvested from Ricetti Vineyard late for deeper color, more tannins and higher alcohol. At the winery, the grapes were fully foot crushed and placed into tank 100% whole cluster. It spent eight days fermenting on skins, after which it was pressed to tank to finish fermentation. Once dry, the Carignan was barreled down to neutral oak barriques, to go through malolactic fermentation and age over the winter. Indigenous yeast fermentation. 20 ppm SO2 at bottling, no other additions, unfined and unfiltered. 100 cases produced.

Based in Sonoma, California, Rosalind Reynolds founded Emme Wines (named after her grandmother) in 2018 after years in the industry alongside the likes of Les Capriades, Martha Stoumen, and Pax (where she is also the assistant winemaker). Rosalind focuses on "old school" California varietals, like Carignan, Colombard, Merlot and Zinfandel, as well as uncommon grapes like Abouriou, Valdiguie and Muscat Vert, all farmed organically and sustainably, and she makes wine without additives and minimal intervention.
