THE WINE
“The palate leads to flavors of baked fig, mild cigar box, and blackcurrant framed by a bold, gravelly tannin structure provided by a small percentage of Petite Sirah. A touch of oak finishes the palate with an elegant balance between tannin, acidity, and body.”
THE WINERY
“All Slingshot wines begin with premium fruit from the Napa Valley and North Coast, much of it harvested from our own Juliana Vineyards where we strive through sustainable methods to grow quality fruit for generations to come. We don’t compromise when it comes to grapes because we’re committed to giving our customers sophisticated, approachable wine at a great price.”
