The Land
Carignan spent most of the 20th century as a bulk-wine workhorse, the grape nobody bragged about. But California hangs onto pockets of ancient, dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan, and in the right hands those old vines make something serious. This rose comes from roughly 80-year-old organically farmed Carignan in Mendocino County, on red clay soils in the cooler, coastal-influenced north of California wine country. The age of the vines gives concentration and balance, while Mendocino's cool nights keep the acidity bright, exactly what you want for a fresh, dry rose.
The Wine
100% old-vine Carignan, hand-picked at dawn and whole-cluster pressed straight to juice, an intentional rose made for pink wine rather than bled off from a red. That direct-press approach gives it a pale color and a crisp, clean profile: bright red berry and citrus, a mineral, saline snap, and a genuinely dry finish. It is light and refreshing but has the old-vine substance to feel like more than a patio pounder. This is what California Carignan can do when someone takes it seriously.
The People
Remy Saves the Sea is a charity wine made by young Remy Dorrance together with her father, winemaker Noah Dorrance of Reeve Wines, a small-production estate he and Kelly Dorrance founded in Healdsburg in 2015. Remy, a surfer who grew worried about the health of the oceans, asked her dad to help her make a wine so she could put the profits toward protecting them. The project is a 1% for the Planet member, and proceeds support ocean and planet health through The 5 Gyres Institute, which fights plastic pollution in the seas. It is a serious wine with a genuinely good reason to exist.
Food Pairing
This is an all-purpose warm-weather rose that leans toward the sea. Pour it with oysters, ceviche, fish tacos, or a shrimp and avocado salad. Its dry crispness and saline edge are made for raw and grilled seafood, while the light red-berry fruit keeps it easy alongside picnic food and summer vegetables. Serve it cold and drink it outside, ideally near the water.

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
