Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it a very dry wine?
Although technically a dry wine, the maturity of its fruit and the softness of its tannins give it a very pleasant sweet and silky perception on the palate.
What does the Zinfandel variety contribute to the blend?
It contributes the sweet fruit load, spicy pepper notes, and that velvety texture that characterizes the unique profile of this Red Blend.
Does it need to be decanted before serving?
It is an extremely expressive wine from the moment it's opened; however, allowing it 15 to 20 minutes of aeration will enhance the secondary notes of vanilla, cocoa, and toast.
