Practicing Organic

Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.

Tasting Notes

This dry red blend of whole cluster Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, and destemmed Nero d'Avola are fermented separately, then blended. Aged in used oak for 6 months, it is unfined and unfiltered.
