2020 Di Arie
Interlude
Estate Grown & Bottled
Sierra Foothills, CA
Winemaker's Notes:
Like all of its predecessors, the 2020 "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 2020 vintage favors the Zinfandel over
the Primitivo with 42% for the former and 27% for the latter. The
four varietals that make up this wine, which include Syrah and Petite Sirah are
remarkably compatible. They act 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.
