Rapscallion
Zinfandel
Rapscallion is an English turn of phrase often lent to people with a rascal scoundrel kind of character. If a wine could be a rascally scoundrelly type of person, it would be this Zinfandel. Aged in American and French oak for 18 months, this wine is bold and complex yet incredibly approachable for all wine lovers. From vineyards in Paso Robles where dry hot days leading to cool nights allow for concentrated flavors and bright acidity, this wine has vibrant red fruit flavors, structured tannins, and a spicy finish.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Paso Robles](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1848/normal/California_Central_Coast.png?1616011014)
Paso Robles
California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.

Black Pepper
This wine is a beautiful example of a classic Zinfandel. Bold and complex with notes of vibrant raspberry and red cherry lead to structured tannins, bright acidity, and a peppery mocha finish. Approachable and far too easy drinking, this is perfect on its own or alongside savory dishes.
