In 1997, Hunt Cellars began producing their first releases of memorable wines. Experience has taught the Hunts that in order to make great wines, you must simply have the best fruit. At Hunt Cellars, they believe passion, hard work, and never giving up until all the components and structure are present to give their wine the varietal character, flavor, and velvet finish that has become their trademark.
 
This bottle is a fateful blend of Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon that is not soon forgotten. Ripe cherry, rich strawberry, and blackberry jam dominate the nose, with hints of honey and spice lingering in the background. The palate is silky smooth, the same berries reappearing alongside lovely accents of spice, tobacco, and cocoa. An excellent food wine, paired very nicely with a Mediterranean pizza.
