Post Flirtation Red 2025

Varietal:

60% Zinfandel, 40% Carignan

Alcohol:

12.5%

Vinification Notes:

Zinfandel (100% destemmed) and Carignan (100% whole cluster, ~10% foottread, in an open top fermentor) hand-harvested and fermented separately. Pumpovers were used to gently extract tannin and each lot was pressed prior to dryness. Aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels for 6 months before blending. Unfined. Filtered for stability. Sediment expected.

Vineyard:

Zinfandel from Del Barba Vineyard, Oakley, Contra Costa County; dry farmed (non-irrigated) vineyard; pure sandy soils (like walking on a beach).

Carignan from Ricetti Vineyard, Redwood Valley, Mendocino County; planted in 1948; dry-farmed (non-irrigated), certified organic vineyard; gravelly loam soils.

Martha's Notes

This wine is so joyous, and to me, distinctly Californian. I never knew how much I loved Zinfandel until I started working as Chris Brockway’s (Broc Cellars) Assistant Winemaker. When picked before the grape berries begin to shrivel, you get amazing hibiscus, rhubarb, pomegranate, and baking spices from Zin. Like an avocado, the window is small between unripe and overripe for Zin, and I watch our Zinfandel vineyards closely. Carignan, Zin’s less celebrated companion, provides a savory component reminiscent of driving through California chaparral and can be incredibly complex with nearing 80 years of vine age. I’m not re-inventing the wheel with this classic old vine Zin/Carignan blend, just lightening things up a bit.
