✨❤️🍷 2021 was a difficult year for Pleasa ✨❤️🍷 2021 was a difficult year for Pleasant Valley. The Caldor Fire brought devastation that touched many residences, families, and wineries in our community. Out of that hardship, however, came resilience and from resilience, beauty. 🍷 ❤️ ✨ We are proud to share our estate Zinfandel, born from the very vines that endured the fire, and awarded 91 points by @wine_spectator. With notes of raspberry cordial, ripe blackberry, singed cherries, cocoa, and bourbon vanilla, this wine carries both depth and soul. Its velvety, mineral-driven finish is a reflection of strength and recovery, much like Pleasant Valley itself. This is more than a wine. It’s a story of endurance, of rising from the ashes, and of the community that makes it all possible. ✨ 🍷 We invite you to taste it for yourself, before it’s gone. Enjoy it in our tasting room or purchase from our online store by clicking the link in our bio.
