Winemaker's Notes
Our family drinks more of this, more often than any of our other wines. It is perfect in so many instances: We use it for getting into the groove to cook dinner, accompanying something to eat before the main course is done, becoming the main beverage focus for the entire meal, or cleansing the palate after the main meal is consumed. It is the most versatile wine we make.
This year the blend is 64% Grenache, and 18% each Zinfandel and Syrah, similar to the past few vintages. One is greeted by the aromas of red cherry, maraschino cherry, watermelon, fresh plum and candied apple. On the mouth, typical bright, mouth-watering acidity and a reprise of aromas complete the circle. It finishes clean and crisp, inviting another sip, glass…or bottle. It is perfect with sauteed ling cod, Greek style olives, oven roasted potatoes (or potato chips), or a lawn mower that is cooling down before being put away. Again, our extended family has a glass or two of this pretty much every day.
