TASTING NOTE: 

This wine comes from the Alegria vineyard (in Sonoma County’s Russian River. Certified sustainable, the site has complex alluvial, gravelly loam, marine and volcanic soils. The gnarly head-trained vines range from 60 to 125 years old. The field blend is mostly Zinfandel (80 percent) with Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Carignan, Trousseau, Petite Bouschet, Syrah, Beclan, Tannat, Peloursin, Graciano, Plavac Mali, Palomino, Monbadon. This undergoes a 20-day ferment and maceration before being aged in neutral oak barrels for 14 months. The resultant wine has dark, red-berried fruit with spiciness. The palate has voluptuous but structured tannins, with great freshness at its core.
