Muccigrosso Vineyards Award Winning Wines!
To know is to taste. In the interim, here are some brief descriptions of our current releases to whet your whistle.

Lyn Zin
Zinfandel all the way, exhibiting full body, bright raspberry, varietal black pepper spiciness with licorice and chocolate on the nose. Sense is, this wine is fixin' to mature with characteristic aplomb. You might want to spread it on toast. But that's our idea. We look forward to hearing about your sense.

Macchia
This wine is a lot of things to us. It's a nod to our forefather's hailing from Macchia Valfortore, in Campo Basso, Italy. It's our take on a Super Tuscan. Mostly, it's another robust and complex red wine we love to drink. Here's the rough breakdown: 50% Syrah (what?), 30% Sangiovese, 10% Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Syrah. Yah, it's pretty big and ripe (this is California after all). But you'll find the balance quite nice with blackberry fruit preeminent and cassis on the nose.

Pinot Noir
To complete the triumvirate, we reveal our Santa Cruz Mountain Pinot Noir. Some of you may already know that Pinot Noir fulfills another passion. You may also know that the Santa Cruz Mountains are one of the preeminent Pinot Noir appellations in the country. Bringing the Pinot Noir from vine to glass takes us close to Mother Nature. Unpredictable, susceptible, volatile, yet subtle, exquisite and multifarious. Year after year she rewards us with challenges. This year our trials and tribulations yielded an exceptional example of Santa Cruz Mountain wine. Big bodied with ample Cherry fruit, a subtle vanilla bouquet and modest minerality, this Pinot Noir is racy. And it's in short supply.

So there you have it. These aren't wines you'll find for practically nothing at discount grocers. In fact, you probably won't find these wines through your usual sources. No matter what you are accustomed to drinking, if you are inclined to having handmade artisan wines suitable for any occasion and capable of dazzling your senses, we would be much obliged if you would try ours. You may find fine wine habit forming.
