Pessimist beautifully encapsulates our defiant and rebellious spirit. Although along our 
journey our cup may have looked half empty, this was not because we were down and 
out. This was because we were drinking in everything life has to offer, savoring every 
drop, and striving to create something extraordinary. Pessimist’s goal is to create a wine so deliciously different that your cup is perpetually half empty. A wine that elevates your expectations with every single sip.

GRAPE VARIETY: 60% Petite Sirah, 22% Zinfandel, 16% Syrah, 2% Lagrein

TASTING NOTE: An intensely aromatic nose begins with fragrances of blueberry, boysenberry, and black plum. Deeper layers reveal lavender, truffle, cocoa, and tamarind spice with hints of cherry pipe tobacco, leather, mint, and smoked meats. A bright, vibrant palate offers generous flavors of black cherry, cranberry, crème de cassis, and pomegranate. Notes of lilac, anise, and black olive complement the rich fruit while the mouth is flooded with lush, silky textures. Lingering accents of blueberry and raspberry round out this elegantly balanced wine.
