Winemaking
I’ve blended individual wines, all made from grapes grown here on the estate. The estate Zinfandel has always been the basis for the Pioneer Cuvée and it was intensely fruity in 2014 and I have used a higher percentage of it than in previous versions. The addition of Grenache (for cherry fruit and acidity) and Petite sirah (for color and structure) complete the wine without taking away the lovely raspberry fruitiness.
