The 2022 Scythian Wine Company “The Scythians” Red is a medium-bodied blend of 70% Zinfandel and 30% Palomino from century-old vines in Cucamonga Valley. It offers bright, juicy raspberry fruit balanced by fresh acidity and subtle dried herbal notes, delivering an elegant yet earthy profile. The wine’s lively energy and minerally undertones recall the finesse of classic California Zinfandels but with a unique historic twist. Made with minimal intervention and aged under flor in used sherry casks, it showcases a rare expression of Los Angeles’ nearly lost viticultural heritage. This red pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or grilled meats, enhancing its savory complexity.
