Wine Spectator Awards Carica Wines “Temptation” 92 Points!
December 12th, 2009
We are delighted to share Wine Spectator Insider’s review of Carica’s first Rhone-style red blend:
Carica Temptation Kick Ranch Sonoma County 2007
92 points | $25 | 192 cases made | Red
Intense, rich and layered, with tiers of blackberry, wild berry,
plum and boysenberry. Full-bodied, with pleasant earthy notes
and touches of creamy, toasty oak. This returns to its rich core of
berry flavors, turning fleshy and concentrated.
Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2016.—J.L.
Wine Enthusiast Praises Carica Sauvignon Blanc
February 19th, 2009
Wine Enthusiast has followed Wine Spectator in giving high marks to Carica’s Sauvignon Blanc!
“This lovely, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc showcases bright, ripe fruit with crisp acidity, and manages to finish dry. It’s creamy textured, packed with lemon, lime and pink grapefruit flavors, and richer notes of melons, figs, wild honey, vanilla and smoke.” (2006) Wine Enthusiast — 90 Pts.
