Nose

The Italian clone of Zinfandel, so it’s fitting that this wine screams Zin on the nose with dark red bramble fruit, spice (think tarragon, sage, clove), and sweet smoky notes.

Palate

It is lively and filled with fresh fruit character with a soft, silky mouthfeel accentuated by the wine’s vibrant acidity. It bursts with fruit from the first sip to long after it has left your palate.

Winemaking

Primitivo and Petite Sirah cofermented

Aging

18 months in neutral French oak barrels

Food Pairing

Enjoy this wine with robust smoked meats like brisket, grilled pork chops, or even smoked duck breast with spiced cranberry chutney.
