About This Wine
Hawthorne Grove
Red Blend 808
We are incredibly excited to welcome the highly lauded, award-winning Hawthorne Grove back to Firstleaf. This two time medal winner takes its character from two distinct grapes. Petit Verdot takes the lead in this blend with a deep purple color, earthy base, and vibrant blackcurrant aromas. The brighter fruit notes of blackberry and raspberry with a slightly spicy quality is the Zinfandel sourced from the Mokelumne River region in Southwestern Lodi. Together these grapes make a wine that is simply divine. Blend 808 is great for parties where tastes vary and is especially good with meats that will make the fruit lift off when paired together.

The structure and body of this wine are perfect for all types of situations. We love how the dark fruit allows for easy pairing with meats right off the grill.
