The Character
Tasting Notes The wine exhibits a rich deep burgundy hue with a perfect clarity. The aromas are a compendium of opulent blackberries, boysenberries and cola. The palate explodes with rich mouth filling sweet blackberries, juicy black cherries, lush juicy fruit and spice. The long, seductive finish is filled with rich chocolate truffles with firm, round, yet supple mouth filling tannins.
The Story
This wine is a big winner for Peirano Estate Vineyards!! This collaboration between 4th generation winemaker Lance Randolph and his youngest daughter, 5th generation Alexis Randolph, is the best of “old-school winemaking” and “new-school winemaking!!” The results in this bottle, we think, accent the best of both generations of winemaking styles.

About Peirano Estate Vineyards
Brand Story
In 1992, Lance Randolph, the 4th generation of Peirano to farm the 300 acre estate, began making Peirano wine simply for himself and to prove Lodi could produce desirable wines. After considerable praise, he started bottling and selling Peirano wine using his estate grown grapes. Since then, Peirano has won numerous awards for producing wine using many of the old techniques valued by Giacomo Peirano. The history of Peirano Estate Vineyards is a tale deeply rooted in Lodi history and the importance is felt by every member of the Peirano family. Over the years, the vineyards have grown to not only include the same naturally rooted, head trained Old Vine Zinfandel imported to the United States by Lance’s great grandfather, but many other varieties as well.
