Description
Crafted on the historic Oak Farm estate in Lodi, California, Il Padrone is an opulent, port-style dessert wine bottled in an elegant 500 mL format. Late-harvest Zinfandel and Petite Sirah are hand-selected for their concentrated sugars, then fermented slowly before being fortified with house-distilled brandy and laid to rest for nearly two years in seasoned French oak barrels. The result is a deep garnet nectar that pours thick and glossy, releasing scents of blackberry jam, Mission fig, roasted walnut, cacao nib and a teasing ribbon of vanilla bean.
On the palate, layers of black cherry compote, dried plum, espresso and warm baking spices unfold, balanced by a supple vein of acidity that keeps the 18 % alcohol beautifully in check. Silky tannins glide to a lingering finish of toffee and cracked pepper. Serve slightly cool in your favorite small wine glass after dinner, or partner it with flourless chocolate cake, blue cheese drizzled with honey, or a handful of toasted almonds.
