WINE DESCRIPTION
Born from dry-farmed, head-trained vines, these grapes sing with bright acidity and vibrant cherry flavors. Zinfandel's bold personality shines through, even with just 50% in the blend. The rest? A playful mix of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan, Tempranillo, and Graciano – a unique twist on every vintage. This "Problem Child" isn't a problem at all, but rather a testament to the winemaker's creativity, offering a constantly evolving canvas of bold fruit and intriguing complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Linne Calodo
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
