Our Il Mostro (The Monster) red wine is named for the unusually thick and twisted Petite Sirah and Zinfandel vines that have stood strong and proud for the last 100 to 125 years from where these grapes are sourced. Because of the lack of interference in the way they are planted, they’ve taken on a naturally sculpted form resembling gnarled monsters. Their deep-reaching, dry-farmed root structure encourages an intense diversity of flavor and character. The resilience of these extremely low yielding vines are believed to be among the oldest producing vineyards in the world.

A beautiful expression of plush velvety gracefulness, with black fruit aromas of boysenberry, raspberry, and wild blackberries, intermixed with floral traces and complex minerality. On the palate, the wine is deep, pure, and full-bodied with concentrated dense flavors of dark berries and spices that lead to a long, savory, and stylish finish.
