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.

Wine Expert Note:

This bold, powerful, and unapologetic red blend from Linne Calodo is sure to make an impression. The Problem Child combines unique varietals from Paso Robles, including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise. On the nose, it presents aromas of ripe raspberry, blueberry, and plum, with hints of pepper and herbs. On the palate, it delivers a juicy and full-bodied experience, with bold tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish. Enjoy now, or cellar for up to five years.
