Enjoy a tasty tale from a fruity wine
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Orthographie
Zinfandel – Petite Sirah
Much like the use of the written word, wine is often most enjoyable when it tells a story. Our intensely fruity blend from Orthographie showcases the delicious journey from grape to bottle. This blend is made of 85% Zinfandel and 15% Petite Sirah. These grape varieties have thick, deep purple skins with flavors of lush fruit. They require a lot of heat and sunshine to develop their full spectrum of flavor. In the warm climate of California, these grapes take advantage of the state's long growing season and consistent sunlight, which allows their flavors and tannins to reach peak ripeness. This means that come harvest, the pulp of this fruit is packed with sugar, and the tannins in the skins have become a soft, velvety texture. With skilled winemaking, the best attributes of these grapes are accentuated. Our wine displays sweet black fruit flavor with soft tannins and a full body. With ...

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:
Blackcurrant
Blackberry
Black Pepper
On the nose, you will experience spicy aromas of black pepper. The rich palate offers sweet fruit flavors of blackberry and blackcurrant with refreshing acidity and forgiving tannins. These flavors and textures would pair nicely with a main course of short rib or mushroom risotto.
