this Riserva continues to embody the soul of its origins
this release promises a graceful evolution over the next two decades

2017 Zero Manipulation, Tollini Vineyard, Peterson BBQ this Riserva continues to embodyLush yet laid back, Zero Manipulation is Californias answer to authenticity. A blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it bursts with bright red fruit, raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate, wrapped in a soft frame of spice, liquorice and a hint of rustic earth. Theres a sense of effortless generosity here: juicy, supple, and grounded by a whisper of minerality. Its the kind of wine that feels both wild and polished all sunshine, red dust, and rhythm.
