Candor Zinfandel

Zinfandel is California’s signature grape, and a variety that has gone through more rough patches and glory days than most. Zinfandel in the glass can be thrilling, and it can be absolutely generic.

Great Zinfandel grapes grow in pockets all over the state, and the Hope family have done their homework. This wine benefits from a combination of hardy, gnarly old vines, some of them over 50 years old, and exuberant new ones, all meticulously farmed. Blended together across vineyards and vintages, Candor Zinfandel has real panache—bright berry fruit, spice, and that undefinable zing that says it’s really Zinfandel.

No sleight-of-hand, no mirrors, just straight-ahead Merlot and Zinfandel.
