Our red blend is bases-loaded beautiful. Starting with Zinfandel from Dry Creek, we layered on some of our favorite traditional blending varietals: Carignan and Petite Sirah. The dark color, full-bodied tannic structure, and lively character of this California all-star have Pinch Hitter swinging for the fences!

Vintage Notes | The 2022 vintage wines are immediately appealing, showing fruit-forward aromatics, breadth, and sophistication. Even in the third year of drought, good vine growth was a pleasant surprise. Heavy rains started at the end of November, continued into early December, dried down, and arrived again near bud break, resaturating the soils. Frost in March contributed to a lighter crop. By July the season was tracking on the warmish side indicating an earlier harvest. Temperate weather was interrupted by a big heat wave in early September, which propelled earlier ripening sites into a fast-paced harvest window. |
