Tasting notes:

Our Duetto Zinfandel is a tribute to the harmonious marriage of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Zin offers bright lively fruit with just the right zing of black pepper. Petite Sirah, with its dark, brooding flavors, adds a dark burst of spice in the finish. Together they form a most perfect union.

Aromas of dark fruit and dusty tannins layer over an essence of freshly crushed berries and spiciness. A thread of black pepper winds around the juicy raspberry core with blackberry, cherry and vanillin oak joining in. The petite Sirah's structure and the Zin's lively flavors are in perfect balance, producing an elegant wine whose complexity will reveal itself with age.

Duetto intrigues, seduces and leaves you with a lingering memory and a smile.

Winemaking notes:
