Tasting Notes

The 2022 Light Red Blend, dealcoholized to 8%, is a beautifully crafted wine from the Sierra Highlands, showcasing the best of the Starfield Estate Vineyard. This blend invites you in with enticing aromas of strawberry and cherry, complemented by notes of cinnamon and Sierra Spice. Hints of tomato stem, sage, and white pepper add depth and complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine presents a harmonious blend of strawberry pastry and blueberry muffin, with a touch of baking spices like anise and clove. The light and refreshing profile makes it perfect for enjoying at cellar temperature or chilled. This wine maintains a balanced and flavorful experience despite its lower alcohol content, ideal for those seeking a lighter option. Enjoy now through 2027.
