Tasting Note:
Post Flirtation is bright, juicy, and irresistibly drinkable—built for chillability and the table. Fresh red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry lead, followed by hints of citrus peel, dried herbs, and a light savory edge. The palate is light-bodied with lively acidity and gentle tannins, favoring crunch and freshness over weight. Clean, vibrant, and refreshing through the finish, this is California red with a natural-wine sensibility and zero heaviness.

About the Producer:
Martha Stoumen is a California winemaker focused on low-intervention wines from responsibly farmed vineyards, with an emphasis on heritage varieties and balance. Her approach favors early picking, whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and minimal sulfur—resulting in wines that are energetic, transparent, and food-friendly. Post Flirtation is her calling-card red: approachable, expressive, and meant to be opened often.
