Cuvée Andie is our one exception to Rhône varieties, inspired by the long tradition of Zinfandel in California. Unlike our Rhône offerings, which pay homage to centuries of winemaking in the South of France, Zinfandel is unique to this place and time, creating a style all its own. For the 2022 vintage, we subbed out Grenache for Carignane, which adds layers of concentrated flavors while balancing the ripeness of Zinfandel.

This wine holds a special place in our hearts, as it's a love letter from our Winemaker, Drew Nenow, to his wife, Andie. Andie has always loved Zinfandel, and with Drew’s background working at Turley Wine Cellars, we made an exception to our Rhône focus to craft this wine just for her. Building Nenow Family Wines has been a labor of love, and Andie’s patience, support, and dedication to both the winery and their growing family have been invaluable.
