Problem Child
65% Zinfandel, 14% Carignan, 12% Mourvedre, 9% Syrah
From a dry farmed, head trained vine, the zinfandel grapes can sing with bright cherry fruit flavors and acid. Zinfandel is such a powerful grape that even with just 50% Zin, the wine still screams of Zin. Blended carefully and playfully with Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan, Tempranillo, and Graciano. I keep my options open every vintage to paint a new canvas of the Problem Child wine. PAST VINTAGE NOTES
