Zinfandel

Our Zinfandel grapes are sourced from a small, family-owned vineyard located in the acclaimed Templeton Gap sub-appellation of Paso Robles. The head-trained, forty-five-year-old vines are now cultivated by third-generation growers & are strictly dry-farmed, meaning that they are not irrigated & rely mostly on rainfall to water the vineyard. This yields a smaller, more intense crop.

We are excited to present a new vintage from this exceptional vineyard. After a partial carbonic maceration, this wine underwent high-temperature fermentation using natural yeasts for maximum extraction & expression of terroir. Almost 2 years of barrel maturation was split between neutral & new Appalachian oak.

This wine has a beautifully deep ruby color, matched by bold aromas of tart cherry & chai tea. The style of fermentation gives this wine a characteristic intensity of red fruit & baking spices. Its aftertaste & texture is reminiscent of dark chocolate, beckoning for another taste.

For a simple and elegant combination, try this wine with aged Gruyere. Though some red wines can make tomato based sauces bitter, this is our go-to for sipping with marinara or pizza, while burgers, barbecue, and char-grilled veggies play on the spicy, warm notes. If you’re looking for something sweet, try it with dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Weird AND delicious!
