About Laura Michael Wines: “Laura and Michael Swanton know the many challenges of establishing a boutique winery dedicated to crafting small quantities of fine wine in the Napa Valley. They have experienced them all in their demanding, yet delicious, journey from fledging winery to award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel producers.”

Theme of Laura

TASTING NOTES: “This sweet dessert wine is a blend of 50% Estate grown Zinfandel and 50% Calistoga Petite Sirah. A bit lighter on the palate, not super sticky and sweet; just the right choice to pair with dark chocolate or baked fruit tarts. There’s a touch of spice and mint on the palate as well. It is a fortified wine coming in at 18.5% alcohol. Once opened, it will last about a month due to the lower alcohol.” (AbV 18.5%, pH 3.63, TA 5.5 g/L, RS 8%)

VARIETALS: 50% Zinfandel, 50% Petite Sirah

BARRELS: 2010 - 2013 vintages that were given between 3 and 6 years in various oaks, bottled 2016.

PAIRS WITH: Dark chocolate or baked fruit tarts.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Okay, listen, I know it’s Christmas, but this wine is literally called Laura’s Theme! I can’t resist! Theme of Laura and Theme of Laura (Reprise) are two of the most iconic pieces of music from one of the most iconic horror games ever made!
