Blend or Cuvée: 72% Zinfandel, 24% Mourvèdre & 4% Syrah

Nose: A Zinfandel lover's dream. This seldome seen blend of Zinfandel and Mourvèdre demonstrates some of the best characteristics these varieties has to offer. Black raspberry liqueur floats in the background while a mix of lingonberry, blackberry, and boysenberry jam burst playfully from the glass, balanced by notes of black pepper and eucalyptus.

Palate: Cherry pie and clove paired with mouthwatering acidity, fresh cream, and an incessant juiciness, make for a wine to be enjoyed throughout the seasons and on any occasion.

Winemaking: These varietals were harvested together on October 7th, 2023 at 24.3° Brix and fully destemmed. After careful hand-sorting, the two varieties were co-fermented in a single open-top fermenter and gentle pump-overs and punch-downs were employed for cap management throughout a 12-day fermentation. To preserve the blend’s aromatic intensity and vibrant juiciness, the wine was aged for 15 months in 265L neutral French oak barrels. After five months in barrel, a small portion of Syrah was blended in to enhance structure and add depth to the final wine.
