WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
SHIFT your palate into gear with dark blue fruits. Zinfandel brings the strawberry compote and Teroldego is all about cocoa nibs and blueberries. Syrah adds a touch of everything that’s good about food off the grill, and Carignane deepens the aromas with fresh cigar. Complex baking spices, caramel notes, and a big mouthfeel make this an incredible wine.
Blend: 52% Zinfandel, 25% Teroldego, 18% Syrah, 5% Carignan
TASTING NOTES:
A high-octane red that retains a sense of style and polish, with expressive cherry, cassis, licorice and savory cracked pepper flavors that zoom toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Toreldego, Syrah and Carignane. Drink now through 2032.

Coming from both Sonoma County and Santa Barbara County, the 2021 Shift Red Wine is composed of 52% Zinfandel, 18% Syrah, and the rest Carignan. It's full-bodied and packed with spice, with toasted cedar, cracked pepper, plum, and scorched earth. It's another warming wine, with ripe tannins, and an earthy finish as well as a coating and lasting feel. These wines are opulent all around. Drink 2025-2032.
