2022 Gary's Improv Zinfandel
Valle di Sotto Vineyard ⋅ Napa Valley ⋅ 15.1% ABV ⋅ Organically Farmed ⋅
Named for Co-Founder Gary Erickson's love of jazz and the wine he reaches for at the end of the day. Gary’s Improv puts both passions in one bottle, and like a jazz performance, every vintage is a little different.

Our story began with the same adventurous spirit that sparked Clif Bar, where a love for the outdoors and a commitment to sustainability guided every step of the journey. Clif Family is more than just a winery — it’s a dedication to crafting delicious wine and food, a tribute to our farming roots, and a way to give back to our people, planet, and community.
