This is a wild wine from the Sierra Foothills and we love it. Intense red fruit and peppery flavors hit you as the complexity of this wine begins to play out. Chewy tannins are sure to please if you enjoy bigger red wines and a nice amount of acid makes for a balanced, but bold Grenache once this wine opens up with some air. Randy Hester (winemaker) says this wine is "elegant and rustic" and we tend to agree. We'd love to drink this wine in the mountains or by an open fire. Only 96 cases produced.
Lightning Wines is led by the husband and wife duo, Randy and Brooke Hester. This young couple has over a decade of winemaking and wine business experience with world renowned wineries in Napa Valley and Sonoma, but Randy and Brooke are now making their own wines, and they're some of the most interesting Rhone-inspired wines we've tasted. Their incredible fruit sources are spread throughout Northern California and are tended to by some of the industry’s best growers. Made from the heart, Lightning Wines was born of pure passion and an ambitious dream – make wines as exciting to talk about as they are delicious to drink. You'll have to taste these wines for yourself to see why they're regularly included on The Girl & The Fig's wine list - a Sonoma staple whose wine list consists of America's best small-production, Rhone-style wines.
