Tasting Notes: The combination of varieties resulted in a powerhouse of freshness with aromas of pomegranate and red plum along with hints of stone. The gentle sparkle really makes this a fun wine to enjoy straight out of the can alongside a beach read or a picnic spread. The palate expresses raspberry, gooseberry, and white cherry in abundance with bright acidity and a bolster of texture in the finish.

Winemaking Notes: 2022 was on its way to being an idyllic vintage with an abundance of big juicy berries and cool weather until the heat wave! Las Jaras was able to harvest the Lodi fruit before the heat, but they were not so lucky in Mendocino. Thankfully, the Mendocino Zinfandel made it through the heat spell and rain that followed without causing any difficulty in the cellar. The Mendocino fruit saw no skin contact while the Lodi Zinfandel was passed through a must pump to get a little color and red fruit character. The grapes were lightly pressed followed by 24 hours of settling. The individual lots were sent to stainless steel tanks that were warmed up for fermentation. This wine was not fined but it was filtered.
