The 2017 Red from Judge and Jury offers a unique take on the New World style thanks to its one-of-a-kind blend of Sonoma County-sourced grapes. Each variety serves a purpose here, with Pinot Noir adding fresh acidity and hints of hydrangea to Zinfandel's baked plum and wild berry core, while equal parts Petite Sirah and Carignane contribute layers of depth and complexity. A bold smokiness from New French oak aging makes this the perfect wine to sip while you light up the grill, so stock up today at huge savings!

Vintage Notes
In 2017 the vineyards were exposed to a wet spring, which gave way to a late summer heat spike. This heat spike drove an early harvest and condensed yields from the vineyards. Though there were smaller yields for all varietals, the quality of fruit remained high, as did the resulting wines.

Based in Mendocino County, Nancy has traveled throughout the region visiting growers from Temecula to Portland and from the Shenandoah Valley of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Through her travels, Nancy has developed an appreciation for the regional and local differences that each unique vineyard produces.

Taste Profile
Aromas of ripe berries and blackberry pie lead on this robust and balanced wine. The mouthfeel is round and full, with rich barrel spice, toffee, caramel, mocha, and opulent dark fruit flavors that combine with soft tannins on a long smooth finish.
