2018 Night Watch Proprietary Red
Bold yet distinctly elegant, the 2018 Sextant Night Watch is an intricate and seamless composition. The deep crimson complexion and sandalwood, white pepper, and lavender nose offer the initial impressions of this full-bodied gem. Ripe red plum and raspberry on the palate layer with the lively notes of crushed black pepper, spicy sage, and hints of soft supple leather at the core. Polished tannins and refined acidity give body and structure to this harmonious rhythm of flavor. Keen and expressive to start, Night Watch is poised and nuanced through to the finish.

Winemaker Notes
The 2018 Night Watch encompasses the beauty of Paso Robles Zinfandel blends, with hand-picked fruit sourced from our family owned RBZ Vineyard in the El Pomar sub-AVA. Our goal each year is to balance and showcase Zinfandel’s elegant fruit notes, Syrah’s rich dark aromas, and the bold structure of Petite Sirah. Each varietal is fermented and aged separately in a selection of new and used French, Hungarian, and American oak, then artfully combined into each unique vintage.
