2022 Gary's Improv Zinfandel

Chocolate-covered cherries. Blackberry pie. No, this isn’t our dream dessert menu—it’s oGary Erickson’s signature Clif Family bottle. The 2022 Gary’s Improv Zinfandel opens on a rich, sweet note, followed by a “yes, and” of black pepper and sage to balance out the flavors. If you’re looking for a wine to bring to a barbecue, this is the one. (And unlike improv, we’re not just making that up as we go: The flavor profile of this signature bottle is uniquely equipped to balance out tangy sauces, fatty meats, and smoked just-about-everything.) 

This wine is zesty and bright, thanks to the cooling marine influences and unique microclimate found on our Valle Di Sotto Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District. We use organic farming practices to ensure the grapes maintain their light fruit flavors and optimal levels of acidity.
