"Baked strawberry aromas are laced in mulling spices and amaro-like scents on the nose of this wine. There’s decent tension to the palate, where baked strawberry, cracked hard spices and tea flavors are wrapped in sticky tannins." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2020 growing season was nothing short of eventful and challenging. Winter was relatively dry and cool with limited rainfall until late winter, early spring. Spring was very cool, with a few frost days into May, followed by a mild early summer with a light crop forming. Mid August was the first of a few punishing heat waves coinciding with fires around the state of California. We started picking the Riesling on September 12, and finished three weeks later on October 5. The Zinfandel was picked September 5th/6th." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
