Mission Codename Dry Creek Living
Hailing from the acclaimed Dry Creek Valley, today’s wine brings a pronounced elegance to Zinfandel that is a refreshing change from your everyday California fruit bomb. This wine, 100% crafted from fruit sourced from the Saini Vineyard, has a lovely nose that pops with red fruit. This is a classic Zin with notes of deep, dark briar patch, strawberries and plums, and zippy acidity. This restrained wine is approachable, elegant, and full of fruity goodness. It drinks well above its price point and would pair well with a wide variety of options (we recommend duck or quail). Finishes with some depth and earth, adding a tier of complexity that puts the wine into the stratosphere. This wine is the anti-port, with tangy spice and loads of juicy red fruit.
