International Zinfandel Day is upon us! We’ll be celebrating one of our favorite varietals on Thursday, November 16th with a re-release of our 2017 Primitivo "Pole Position."

The spicy Zinfandel has a storied history and can be traced all the way back to Italy’s Primitivo and Crljenak Kastelanski, an ancient Croatian varietal. Though its roots are in the old world the grape has gained renown in California where Old Vine Zin, sometimes upwards of 15.5% alcohol, has catapulted the Zinfandel to international stardom.

To celebrate International Zinfandel Day, we'll be re-releasing 2 cases of our 2017 Primitivo "Pole Position." Our 2017 Primitivo was a long-time wine club favorite, selling out to the public over a year ago. Our 2017 Primitivo is precise and expressive with elegant layers of dried pie cherry fruit, bing cherry, luscious raspberry, and red licorice. The red fruit profile is complemented by hints of hickory wood, smoky grilled herbs, baking spices, vanilla, and olive tapenade which help build structure and richness toward velvety soft polished tannins developed by 30 months of aging.
