Michael Cruse has a panache for turning unexpected grapes into expressive, refreshing sparkling wines, and this Pét-Nat from Eaglepoint Ranch is one of his most charming. Made from old-vine Zinfandel in Mendocino, the fruit is pressed gently to keep the color pale and the profile crisp. The natural fermentation is finished in bottle, giving the wine its fine spritz and lively character.
The nose brings bright red berries, citrus peel, and a hint of stone fruit, with a subtle floral note in the background. The palate is fresh and lightly textured, with raspberry, strawberry, and a clean mineral edge. It’s vibrant, dry, and irresistibly drinkable—an easygoing sparkling wine that feels both playful and thoughtfully made.
Varietal: Zinfandel
Appellation: Mendocino County, California, United States
