Winemaking

Each individual component underwent textbook red wine traditional fermentation through aging before becoming a piece of one of two larger blends. These larger blends were assembled for longer term tank aging, so that the two blends would each knit. The final blend’s building blocks—essentially one-third 2019 Lodi and two-thirds 2016 Central Coast, were moved from their tanks to assemble the bottle blend and finishes.

Great Summer Sweet!

I'm not typically a sweet wine drinker, but I love this as a summer beverage. I like it very cold and I don't even mind pouring it over ice as long as the wine is already well chilled so it doesn't melt the ice. Serve in a thermal tumbler over ice with a straw...not your typical wine, but so unique and good!

Not sure I'd Classify this as a Sweet Wine

At first taste, something was off about this wine. I poured my boyfriend a glass, who will usually drink any wines I find I don't like/cannot finish. However, after a few more sips, we both looked at each other and decided to pour our glasses down the drain. The only way I know how to describe the taste, is to say it tasted like a dry red, only your tongue doesn't stick to the top of your mouth like a dry red. Almost has an oaky taste. Maybe that comes from it being a medium-bodied wine. For us, the wine had a unpleasant after taste, and didn't feel this was a "sweet" wine. I have two bottles of this wine. Sadly, I'll have to give the opened bottle to a friend and give the second bottle away as well. Very disappointed.

Perfect Amount of Sweetness

Normally I don’t go for red colored sweet wines. They always tend to be loaded with sugar but this one is amazing. Chilled and served with a spritzer makes a great summer drink when sitting on my patio!
