NEWS FLASH: Prohibition is over, but the revolution continues!
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cassiday Blare
Petite Sirah – Zinfandel
A red as daring as the bootlegger himself, this wine evokes a feeling of rebellion. Two powerful and respected grape varieties team up to create a combination that the legendary George Cassiday would surely tip his hat to. This blend is comprised of Petite Sirah (85%), which is a fairly uncommon variety and packs a radical punch of spice, accompanied by opulent tannins. Its more well-known companion, Zinfandel (15%), contributes intense fruit, a full body, and sweetness. Together you have yourself an audacious blend with a sense of mystery and adventure. This is a wine even the most authoritative of Prohibition-era lawmakers would gladly welcome into their home. Our wine offers both the novice wine drinker and connoisseur an opportunity to lead a revolt against the ordinary, challenge the status quo, and try sipping something that bends the laws of flavor — best paired with the cover ...

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Baking Spice
Blackberry
Black Cherry
Aromas of huckleberry and baking spices along with a bold and brazen palate contains layers of rich fruit. Lush flavors of ripe blackberry, cherry, and boysenberry are coated in sumptuous tannins and complemented by refreshing acidity. This powerful wine can stand up to anything.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cassiday Blare
The Prohibition Era was an interesting time made all the more captivating by men like George Cassiday. Supplying most of the occupants of Capitol Hill with their “liquid pleasures,” Cassiday cast a wide light on the archaic law by writing a series of articles published by the Washington Post in 1930 about his illegal ventures. Not long after, the law was overturned, and for all of us at Cassiday Blare, we tip our hat to you, sir!
