2018 Frediani Zinfandel, Calistoga

The profile of the 2018 Frediani Zinfandel exemplifies a classic example of valley floor Napa Valley Zin. On the nose, there is a burst of red berries consisting of pomegranate, cranberries, and savory plum sorbet. Notes of rose petals, strawberry fields, caramel, and cinnamon express a harmonious aroma to the nose. The concentrated and velvety mouthfeel of the palate reveals bright red fruits with clove, vanilla, and cinnamon on the finish.

This wine is an Italian food lover's dream and pairs perfectly with tomato sauce, pizza, or pasta dishes.

2018 Vyborny Mixed Blacks, Oakville

Year after year, Mixed Blacks has been a favorite among T-Vine customers with its unique field-blend style of winemaking. The 2018 Mixed Blacks bottling is no exception with its bold and concentrated portfolio. The inky and ever-so vigorous profile of this wine exhibits forefront aromas of mixed berry pie, mocha, cigar box, and allspice. A heavy and robust mouthfeel expresses bold notes of clove, vanilla, black currant, and purple flowers.

An ideal wine for wintertime meals or could even be enjoyed as a nightcap in lieu of a port.
