About
Short and Sweet Wines produces a unique dessert wine inspired by the 2017 Napa Valley fires, using late-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon (58%) and Zinfandel (42%) from Yountville AVA and Oak Knoll District vineyards. The wine is aged in French oak and crafted with a historic method from 13th-century France, retaining residual sugar and elevated alcohol for rich flavors of Medjool dates, figs, currants, and dark chocolate. It is designed as a digestif or pairing for dark chocolate cherries and aged cheeses like Gouda or Stilton.
