PASS OF THE OAKS WINERY

The PASS OF THE OAKS Zinfandel offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic grape variety. With its origins in southern Italy, Puglia, where it's known as Primitivo and used in bold, dark reds, or on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, where it retains its ancestral home with Crljenak Kaštelanski, Zinfandel has a storied journey across traditions. In California, this grape variety became synonymous with the state’s signature wines, known for their boldness and high alcohol content, often featuring notes of blackberry, raspberry jam, black pepper, and sometimes a rustic edge. Whether you prefer traditional dry styles or seek out more balanced and fresh takes, PASS OF THE OAKS presents a versatile Zinfandel that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from barbecue to tomato-based pasta.
