Cherry Red

68% Zinfandel, 18% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre, 2% Tempranillo

Release date: Spring 2024. Named after Elmer and Mary Cherry and planted in 1977, this dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard has been a part of the Linne Calodo canon since the inaugural vintage in 1998. The wine hits your palate with fresh, bright cherry notes. The wine lingers in your nose and on your taste buds endlessly, and yet the bottle always seems to empty too quickly. Decant two hours to enjoy immediately, or wait 5 to 7 years for a softer, rounder intensity, or store safely 12+ years to relish fresh cherries dissolved into earth and mushrooms.

Pairings: Almond caramelized duck breast, pistachio-crusted pork chops, butternut squash soup, fresh goat cheese.
