Mezzo

2012 Paso Robles 50% Petite Sirah, 50% Zinfandel

Pozzuoli Mezzo, a delightful blend of fifty percent Petite Sirah and fifty percent Zinfandel, emerges from the sun-soaked hills of Paso Robles. This captivating red wine showcases an elegant structure with a full-bodied character that envelops the palate, inviting you to explore its intricacies. The acidity is remarkably bright, lifting the flavors and adding a refreshing zest that beautifully balances the wine's weight. Rich and bold fruit intensity reveals layers of dark berries and hints of spice, while the tannins are firm yet approachable, contributing to a harmonious mouthfeel. This wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the fruit's natural sweetness to shine without overpowering. Pozzuoli Mezzo is an irresistible choice for any gathering, promising to impress with its complexity and depth.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
