“If you’re a hedonist who loves big, jammy Zins, don’t miss the wines from Wilson.”
Wine Spectator

If you don’t know Wilson yet…. Hold on tight….

The 2022 ‘Treborce’ is here, and it’s ready to hit you with more flavor than a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wielding nunchucks and a pepperoni pizza. Crafted by the rockstars at Wilson Winery - who’ve been winning gold medals since the early 90s - this one’s all about intensity, depth, and a serious throwback to when mixtapes and Saturday morning cartoons ruled the world.

Let’s start with the vineyard: Located just a stone’s throw from the Wilson winery, Treborce sits on the eastern benchlands of Dry Creek Valley, where the grapes are meticulously and sustainably farmed. This Zinfandel is hand-crafted to bring out the absolute best of what these grapes have to offer. So, you know it’s going to be something special.

Now, if you thought the 80s had bold flavors (looking at you, neon and Jolt Cola), prepare for a Kool-Aid guy smashing through the brick wall, “OH YEAH” full-frontal assault on your taste buds. The bouquet opens with fresh aromas of dark berries and woodsy notes that immediately let you know this wine isn’t messing around. Take a sip, and you’ll be hit with flavors of stewed plums, elderberry, and fig jam, balanced by hints of caramel and pine, creating a smooth yet intense experience.

And don’t you worry about that alcohol - it’s smoother than Ferris Bueller talking his way out of class. Bold, yet perfectly balanced, this wine knows how to strut across your palate with confidence. It’s full-bodied and complex, with layers of flavor that will leave you yearning for more as if you’re rewatching The Goonies for the hundredth time.

And the finish… it lasts “For-ev-ver.” Seriously.

So, cue up your favorite soundtrack, grab a bottle of this ‘Treborce’, and get ready for a flavor trip that’ll transport you back to a time when everything was bigger, bolder, and just a little bit more fun. This Zin is a total knockout—no hoverboard required!
