broken swallowtail

This drop is very much an homage to California in many ways. The Golden State has so much diversity of landscape, climate, and culture. From surfers and their sandy spring suits in SoCal to winemakers and their dusty boots in NorCal, our home state is one of a kind. So, too, is Broken Swallowtail, our eighth drop. It is a 2023 California Red Wine. That means that it does not have 75% or more of any one grape varietal in it. Instead, we are allowed to select the very best lots we have and blend them to make the best possible wine we can. In this case, inspired by the California vibe, we relied on heavy doses of the most Californian of all varieties, Zinfandel, and the most famous of all Napa varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend is undeniably delicious, and extremely versatile. Bursting with brambly berry fruit and jammy flavors, and backed by enough tannin to pair perfectly with more robust cuisine.
