Martha Stoumen, Post Flirtation Red, 2023

Martha Stoumen is redefining California winemaking with her low-intervention, joyful expressions of Mediterranean varieties. Post Flirtation Red, her most playful and approachable bottling, blends organically farmed Carignan and Zinfandel from cooler sites, creating a light, fruit-forward wine with lively energy. The 2023 vintage leans into freshness and drinkability, making it perfect for early enjoyment.

Raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate burst from the glass, accented by a touch of baking spice, wild herbs, and subtle earthiness. The palate is silky and bright, with soft tannins and a juicy, mouthwatering finish. Serve slightly chilled alongside charcuterie, grilled veggies, or a casual weeknight meal—this is a wine meant for pure, uncomplicated pleasure.
