The wine is fruit forward, soft textured, and graced with an array of raspberry and spice flavors. Tannins are firm, however, and give the wine additional muscle.

We continue to source this wine from Larry Mettler’s vineyard in Lodi, a region famous for its old vine Zinfandel. This year, we picked the Zinfandel with a small amount of Petite Sirah—also from Mettler. As a result, the wine was co-fermented with about 20% Petite Sirah, which gives Mensch improved structure. The wine was barrel-fermented in French oak using native yeast; then bottled after a relatively short barrel aging (9 months), which maintains purity of fruit.
