This wine is named in honor of those courageous aviators who have put themselves in harm's way - You truly have a flavor for life the protected will never know!
We've crafted many vintages of Fighter Pilot Red—but the 2022 release carries a deeper meaning. With a new label honoring our late President Sherman Smoot, a Navy F-4 Phantom pilot and fearless aviator, this wine is a tribute to his legacy, his passion, and his final flight in his beloved Yak-11, Czech Mate.
Our 100% Zinfandel offers aromas of soft, toasty nuances combined with hints of white pepper.
This native fermentation started below 70 degrees and remained cool the entire way through peaking at 81 degrees.
A portion of the Fighter Pilot Red sales aid the Tailhook Education Foundation - giving military kids scholarships.
