Cruse Monkey Jacket Red Blend 22

The 2022 Monkey Jacket is an easy drinking light-to-medium bodied blend of 27% Zinfandel, 26% Valdiguie, 22% Carignan, 19% Petite Sirah, 6% Tannat from Mendocino County and Napa Valley

50% whole cluster fermentation (in concrete and neutral oak) keeps things light and juicy. Raspberry tart, sweet summer flowers, bramble, and the slightest hint of grilled meats and cherry pie. Bright, crunchy acidity, refreshing finish with just a bit of simple tannins that cleanse. If a red wine can be thirst quenching then this is it.
