Shiraz
This delicious California Shiraz brings you all the splendor of a classic warm-climate wine. The award-winning winemakers at Caligrafica have taken top-tier fruit from diverse California terroir and crafted a savory, spicy wine that is sure to have you reaching for another glass. During the 2020 vintage, these small, thick-skinned grapes enjoyed a long growing season, which allowed them to absorb every ray this sun-soaked climate has to offer. Rooted in well-drained, rocky soils, these conditions created rich, raisin-like fruit flavors and led to optimum sugar levels. The result? A lush and powerful palate. Our winemakers then added their personal touch by using just the right amount of oak to create welcome secondary characteristics, enhancing the overall complexity of the finished product.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of California](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1819/normal/California.png?1616010998)
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
