Linne Calodo Problem Child

Linne Calodo Problem Child 74% Zinfandel, 18% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre We are proud to release one of the few and most sought-after California zinfandel blends produced today. First released in 2001, the dry-farmed zinfandel in this blend hails from the Heaton Ranch in the Willow Creek AVA. Grown on a western facing slope of Linne Calodo soils creates bright, thirst quenching acidity and amazing flavors of raspberry and cherry pie. The zinfandel was picked at optimal ripeness, fermented on skins for 22 days and pressed into both 500L American oak puncheons and 265L barriques. Wine is pigéaged daily by myself and my cellar crew. Aged in American barriques to add roasted meat quality to the bright fruit flavors. I blend in syrah for mid-body weight and mourvédre for tannins and earth. Drink now with good friends (or alone), or in the next five years with your great friends.
