75% Carignane, 20% Zinfandel, 5% other (Barbera & Viognier). Pale cranberry-pink hue. Aromas of juicy strawberry, watermelon leap out first, followed by spring blossoms, a touch of mineral lift, and a vibrant citrus zest, reminiscent of Cara Cara orange peel. A subtle whisper of vanilla crème fraîche and a summery image of strawberry shortcake rounds out the nose, adding both charm and dimension. On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with lively, mouth-watering acidity that makes it irresistibly refreshing. Flavors echo the nose with additions being red cherry, pink grapefruit, and a touch of pithy orange zest. The flavor intensity is medium-plus, offering enough depth to satisfy without overwhelming its bright, elegant character. The finish is clean, zippy, and persistent, with a lingering note of citrus and just a tease of creamy vanilla-berry sweetness that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Food Pairing: Great with almost everything; Meats, sushi, salmon, spicy food, mild and soft cheese.
