Notes on the Wine
This wine is meant to be light on its feet, a summer red. Having both depth and layers from the blend of carbonic Zinfandel and heritage vine Carignane and a unique twist of freshness and vibrancy from the added Malvasia Bianca…drum roll.
Notes on the Producer
Onward Wines are single-vineyard, site-driven wines from vineyard sites which are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years it has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, and it is a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me the growers hands are most definitely part of the terroir.
