Mixed Blacks Red Wine

Mixed Blacks Red Wine Wine Details
Price:

Description: The Mixed Blacks is primarily a blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and Grenache. It is made from grapes we planted in 1999, trying to emulate the field blend of the ancient part of our vineyard. The difference lies in that these vines are about 115 years younger and are irrigated. The wine has amazing black cherry fruit intensity with lots of “Old Hill” spice, including nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Its supple tannins finish with a lingering richness and viscosity that make the wine easy to savor by itself. This wine is a great value.
