Dueling Pistols Red Blend Zinfandel / Syrah 2016

Wilfred Wong 90
"What happens when wineries blend Zinfandel and Syrah? They give their winemakers a greater pallet to work with resulting in wines that can offer more complex nuances. The 2016 Dueling Pistols Duel Varietal of these grapes from the Dry Creek Valley has resulted in a full-textured and delicious wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is powerful and finely balanced. Its aromas and flavors of ripe berries and spice should pair it well with lightly-seasoned grilled beef. "(Tasted: January 4, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

To honor our Founding Fathers and their love of wine, we created a collection of varietals as big and bold as the men themselves. Thus, The Federalist was born. We began with our flagship Visionary Zinfandel featuring the man who pioneered The Federalist Party, Alexander Hamilton. We then expanded with our Dueling Pistols Red Blend, our Sonoma Chardonnay, and two wines from the historic Lodi region featuring George Washington (Zinfandel) and Ben Franklin (Cabernet Sauvignon).

We invite you to explore our collection of exceptionally bold wines and discover what it means to taste A Wine With Principle.
