The Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec bring depth and structure unusual for rosé, while the Syrah adds aromatic complexity and Merlot softens the mouthfeel. Overall, it feels elegant yet bold, with plenty of character from the warm-climate San Miguel District terroir.

2023 Zinfandel — San Miguel, CA

Grown in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of San Miguel in Paso Robles, this 2023 Zinfandel captures the region’s signature intensity and balance.
