2014 Drifter Red Blend
Sold Out!
This year’s vintage is a blend of 58% Syrah, 22% Zinfandel, and 20% Alicante Bouschet. On the nose you’ll find cured meats, mint, and candied cherries. The palate opens up with red jam and licorice with baking spices and earth tones playing the supporting roles. With medium acidity and well-structured tannins you will find this wine stays around long after your first sip.
