My Ode to Côte du Rhône
This is the perfect Bistro wine! Savory & Sultry
92 Wine Spectator
Deep ruby black cherry red-hint of crimson color is followed by exotic aromatics of crushed rocks, bramble, vibrant raspberry, and dark cherry from the Zinfandel. The whole cluster fermentation adds a layer of savoriness and brightness. The palate starts with a gush of raspberry followed by savory nuances and leads to a medium full-bodied mid-palate that focuses on a mix of savory, spicy, and sensual textures and flavors. This is the perfect Bistro wine!
The Blend: 73% Zinfandel and 27% Syrah. Drink now - 2032.

Plush and lively, with fresh raspberry and cherry flavors accented by cracked pepper and espresso as this zips along the snappy finish. Zinfandel and Syrah. Drink now through 2031.

Mostly Zinfandel with the remainder Syrah raised entirely in concrete. Inspired by the Côtes du Rhône appellation wines, it pours a rich purple / ruby color and its fresh and fruity, wiht a sweet floral perfune of mixed berries, candied flowers, fresh forest herbs, and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied, it's easy going on the palate, with a supple, rounded texture and a clean finish.
