Did you know that Miro Cellars is a side-project for winemaker Miro Tcholakov? That’s right; he also works his Zinfandel magic at Trentadue Winery in Geyserville. In fact, he even makes his Miro Cellars wines there at Trentadue in a “custom crush” arrangement. He carefully keeps his wines (and those made for other custom crush clients) separate from Trentadue’s wines. However, he does not play favorites: each and every lot—no matter who ultimately gets his name on the label—gets 100% of Miro’s loving care.

Below is a news article from the Press Democrat in Santa Rosa:

“This big bold wine is highlighted in raspberry, vanilla and smoky oak. Its texture is velvety smooth and rounded, while the flavors boast black licorice, black juicy fruit and a foundation of graham cracker crust.”

This thick, concentrated wine offers complex notions of sandalwood and soapstone, savory in pleasant ways. Clove accents the warmth of strawberry compote laced in rhubarb.

Dark and exotic, with sandalwood and frankincense aromatics up front, followed by a core of espresso-scented blackberry and huckleberry flavors. Firm, chewy tannins show on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 280 cases made.
