Highway 12 Vineyards Trailblazer 2021: Award-Winning Sonoma County Red Blend

Celebrate an exceptional Gold Medal triumph from the 2023 Sonoma County Harvest Fair! Crafted in the renowned vineyards of Sonoma County, California, our 2021 Trailblazer Red Blend showcases the vibrant character of this stellar vintage. This complex wine pours a deep purple hue, immediately enticing the senses.

Experience a captivating fusion of bright boysenberry and rich red currant jelly on the palate, elegantly layered with intriguing hints of strawberry licorice – a signature result of blending Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Discover sophisticated spice notes of cardamom and green peppercorn, complemented by subtle touches of orange pith. The lush, fruit-forward midpalate gracefully transitions into a remarkably long, satisfying finish reminiscent of fine English breakfast tea.

More than just delicious now, this Gold Medal winner boasts fine-grained tannins promising excellent cellar potential for those who wait. Unlock its full potential by pairing it beautifully with Japanese Pork Tonkatsu featuring a plum-based curry BBQ sauce, or explore matches with grilled meats and robust hard cheeses. At 14.2% alcohol, this is a powerful yet balanced expression of Sonoma County terroir you truly won’t want to miss. Discover why this vintage stands apart.
