 Dreamin'
At this week's free Saturday tasting, we're stepping into the ring with some of California's most agile and spirited examples of the state's signature white specialties as well as an elegant Pinot Noir and a muscular red which robustly represents the Golden State's heavyweight champi-zin! These champion wines not only excel at being wonderfully delicious and distinctive but also impress with their generosity and commitment to value. Don't pinch yourself! No, you're not dreamin'. These California classics are unequivocally the real deal!

{sustainable} 100% Zinfandel
(Paso Robles, California)
RIPE BLACK RASPBERRY, SUMPTUOUS OAK & PEPPER, BRAMBLY COMPLEXITY
This bold red has everything we look for in Zin with all the fat trimmed away, leaving a wine which is still big and powerful but well balanced, solidly structured, and carrying its 15% alcohol impeccably. Terroir including volcanic soil and the calcium-rich remnants of an ancient seabed...
