Yes, that. What can you tell me about Carignan? Is it a place? >> No. What is it? First, it's my favorite grapes. Mainly came from Spain and and south of France. Maybe maybe the most unique Carignan that we have in the world is came from Sulcis in Sardinia. South of Sardinia and from Zephaniah. And this is from Zephaniah. Carignan Greek grower named Ika. Isaac. Ika is nickname. >> Okay. >> He's not young, but very strong and we love him. And he's growing our wine perfect. >> No cherries? >> It is. >> And also basil? Makes sense. Um >> It's very herbal. >> Herbal grapes. >> Herbal from one side and very fruity from the other side. Very strong tannins, very um uh solid tannins. Can age for years, but you will never tell it.
