Criss Cross
Criss Cross produces wines across California, drawing on the state's diverse terroirs and grape varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: a Petite Sirah with structure and depth, a Chardonnay balancing richness and acidity, and an Old Vine Zinfandel that captures the character of mature vines. Each wine reflects the particular demands of its varietal—Petite Sirah's dark fruit and tannin framework, Chardonnay's versatility across oak and malolactic treatment, and Zinfandel's ripe berry intensity. Wine Enthusiast has rated the winery's releases, with the Petite Sirah earning particular recognition among the three. The range suggests a focus on California's classic red and white traditions, grounded in vineyard selection and varietal expression rather than novelty.
