The Story
Winemaker Dave Rosenthal is crazy about the Zinfandel at the Pauli Ranch and wanted to make this wine for us. He had a trick up his sleeve and adds a good chunk of Sangiovese from the vineyard to give the Zinfandel a restrain and rustic touch to balance out the power of California's mother grape.
