V. 2020
Problem Child
79% Zinfandel, 14% Syrah, 7% Carignan
As these vines approach their twenty year mark, they are less a problem and more of a dream. But once named, forever called. This wine is everything you are hoping for out of Problem Child - bright and fresh while still reminiscent of a graham cracker crust cherry pie. The seductive ambrosia nose is backed up by comforting baking spices and licorice. This wine is fantastic today, and will only develop and enhance through 2030.
Pairings: bolognese, pizza, burgers, cool ranch Doritos, chocolate cake… bring it to a party!
