Estate Grown & Bottled
Sierra Foothills, CA
Winemaker’s
Notes:
Like
all of its predecessors, the 2017 “Interlude” is a blend
of Primitivo, Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah. This wine created
to be a food wine is elegantly crafted and magnificently balanced to
enhance the flavors of any food. The name “Interlude”,
which is the instrumental music played between the parts of a song,
was appropriately chosen as a metaphor to the interaction between
wine and food.
The
composition of the 2017 vintage favors the Primitivo and Zinfandel
with 70% of the blend. These four varietals are
remarkably compatible acting together with synergy and harmony.
The
layers of dark berry aromas and flavors are complemented with smoke
and game with hints of chocolate and herbal, earthy notes carrying
all the way to the finish.
