GO ALL IN ON THE GOLDEN STATE'S HERITAGE GRAPE
CALIFORNIA ZINFANDEL

Zinfandel isn’t native to California, but that hasn’t stopped Golden State winemakers from claiming it as their own. It’s easy to see why. Not only is the grape bountiful on the vine and versatile in California’s varied climates, but it can be crafted into a wide range of styles, from rosés to jammy fruit bombs or even elegant claret like reds. Whatever your preference, there are many reliable values.
