For us, the definition of a classic California table wine can only be Zinfandel. It’s a fresh, vibrant grape when picked early and pairs well with food. Only in recent decades has Zinfandel’s reputation evolved to be overly extracted and big. La Boutanche brings back the classic style of Zinfandel that feels timeless and is just plain delicious. The Zinfandel grapes were destemmed and naturally fermented in open top stainless fermenters. After the wine was gently pressed, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels for nine months. We made this acid-driven, food-friendly wine in a liter size that everyone can enjoy at the table.

2022 The Perfect Red Cabernet Sauvignon
Regular price
$ 26.00
Save $ -26.00
Tasting Notes: Marionberry, Thai Basil and Cubanelle peppers
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a fresher style than other Cab representations. We harvest the grapes at lower brix compared to neighboring Napa Valley to help highlight the style we prefer and keep it fairly simple in the cellar. This vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, a combination that provides a delicious balance of dark fruits and soft tannins. Most of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were destemmed with the remaining grapes left whole cluster. We fermented with native yeast and pressed early to lessen the amount of tannins in the wine.
For Chris, the ‘Perfect Red’ means, “Something that’s easy to drink but has enough complexity to elevate the wine…is affordable and ‘perfect’ for what it is and how it’s priced.”
