Top it off with a great deal!  66.99 winery price...Yours for 44.99 on a six pack.

Philippe Melka stands atop the pyramid of Napa Valley, having left his mark on countless wineries, producing innumerable high-scoring gems for places like Seavey, Moone-Tsai, Dominus, Tusk, Brand, Lail, Vineyard 29, Dana Estates etc. Melka shares Andis’ winemaking with another key consultant, Maayan Koschitzky who honed his skills at the likes of Screaming Eagle and Dalla Valle. Or it could be the state-of-the-art winemaking facility they built.

Or a little of everything.

Well, truth is in the glass…

Broad, expansive and complex. It carries a remarkable depth of concentration, delivering undulating waves of black raspberry, red cherry and dark chocolate. Add a twist of peppery spice, nutmeg and dried leather. It’s fairly plush and creamy, with a structured backbone to hold everything together. This is the ultimate spicy food Zin as it has gobs of fruit and layers of intensity to pack a punch.

We’re beyond thrilled to bring you this, our first-ever Andis. While it lasts!

Winemaker Notes

Richness and ripeness show off great fruit flavors in this full-bodied but fresh and vibrant wine from a historic vineyard. Moderate tannins frame the exuberant raspberry and blackberry flavors nicely and blend with good acidity for a very good balance.

Wine Enthusiast

“Distinctive tones of salt, pepper and sage bring this full-bodied wine to life as they accent the ripe plum and blackberry flavors. Mild tannins and a superbroad texture make this wine something over which to linger, as it no doubt reflects the 19th-century vines from which it was made.”
