Winery Sixteen 600 Red Blend 2023

Phil Coturri, proprietor of Winery Sixteen 600, is one of California's organic and biodynamic farming pioneers. He believes that great wine starts not only with healthy vines, but a healthy and vibrant vineyard ecosystem. To that end, all the grapes Phil uses for Sixteen 600 are certified organic or biodynamic, grown in the lean, rocky soils of Moon Mountian AVA in Sonoma. His meticulous vineyard work and thoughtful management results in wines that are ripe, vibrant, full-flavored that highlight the varietal and the terroir from where they come.

Predominantly Zinfandel, with Grenache, Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet, the grapes are sourced exclusively from organically and regeneratively farmed vineyards managed by the Coturri family. Varietals are vinified separately, blended and then aged for 16 months in French oak (10% new). Deep purple in color, this Red Blend bursts from the glass with a bounty of ripe red and black berry aromas tinged with peppery spice. The broad palate displays a beautiful balance of blackberry, strawberry and dark cherry flavors accented with hints of dark chocolate and black pepper. Well-structured with firm tannins, this wine exhibits tremendous depth and intensity as it coasts toward a pleasingly fresh finish. Enjoy with a variety of grilled or roasted meats.
