SHIRAZ - CALIFORNIA
HAPPY GO LUCKY
Shiraz is a laid-back grape, capable of virtually any expression in its resulting wine. Chiseled, firm, tannic and age-worthy? Ok, no problem. Jammy, fruit-forward and plump? Sure, we can do that. Happy Go Lucky asks Shiraz to find a happy medium between these two extremes, and to express itself in a style both classic and modern. The result? We got lucky - pure happiness in a glass.
