A Berkeley-made love letter to California old vines, flash-pasteurized so the simcha host can pour without a second thought.

Mood: Built for a long Friday-night table where the wine has to keep up with brisket, conversation, and the cousin who shows up at dessert.

Our sommelier says
Jonathan Hajdu treats century-old Lodi and Contra Costa vines like heirloom recipes - the Zinfandel sings, the Carignan grounds it, the Mourvedre stitches the seams. Mevushal here means convenience, never compromise.

Tasting notes

Crushed boysenberry and black-cherry compote with a curl of cracked pepper and dried sage drifting up behind the fruit. Plush mid-palate of plum skin and wild blueberry, ribboned with cocoa nib and a savory undertow of garrigue that keeps the sweetness in check. Velvety tannins fade into a long, warm finish of baked raspberry, vanilla bean, and a whisper of toasted oak.

Food pairing

Slow-braised brisket with onion jam, Friday-night cholent, or a Shabbos lunch rib roast.
