Estate Grown & Bottled

Winemaker’s
Notes:
Like all of its predecessors, the 2018 "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 2018 vintage favors the Primitivo and
Zinfandel with 76% 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.
