These two high school friends, along with their fellow Dons, carefully selected grape varietals and a perfect vineyard location, inspired by the majestic Torrey Pine Trees of Southern California.
Their commitment to sustainability and preserving the beauty of their surroundings translated into eco-friendly practices in the vineyard and winery. They crafted wines that embodied the spirit of the Torrey Pines, bringing a touch of the region’s natural allure to every bottle.
The Ghareeb and Zolezzi Friends Red Blend combines the lush, velvety texture of Merlot with the bold, spicy notes of Syrah. A harmonious balance of dark fruit flavors like blackberry and plum, with hints of pepper and chocolate, creating a sophisticated, layered taste experience. The Merlot offers lush, fruit-forward notes, while the Syrah contributes a robust, earthy quality. This terroir-driven approach ensures a wine with a distinct sense of place.
Crafted for longevity, this wine promises an evolving complexity over time. The wine leaves a lasting impression with its elegant, lingering finish. The combination of Merlot and Syrah creates a velvety texture that coats the palate, ending with a satisfying balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, making it an excellent companion to fine dining.
