The 2021 Brannan Wines Heritage Red from Calistoga is a Zinfandel-based blend featuring Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Charbono. It offers vibrant aromas of blackberry and cherry, complemented by rich dark berry flavors and hints of fig, dusty fruit, cedar, and sage that add complexity.

The palate is surprisingly light and fresh, with juicy acidity balancing a structured mouthfeel and subtle tannins. This wine captures the spirit of Napa’s historic Calistoga terroir with a bright, approachable style reminiscent of classic California red blends. It pairs well with grilled meats or hearty dishes like roasted lamb or mushroom risotto, enhancing its vibrant fruit and savory notes.
