2023 Outlaw Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County Zinfandel
CORK DORK WINE NOTES by Eric
Some wines behave. Outlaw was never meant to. This Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is driven by place and personality, shaped by sun-soaked days, cool coastal evenings, and a long tradition of independent winemaking. From the first pour, it delivers a bold, grounded presence—confident, expressive, and unmistakably true to its roots.
In the glass, the wine is dark and brooding. Aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum rise alongside cracked black pepper, wild herbs, and warm baking spice. The palate is full and generous, with brambly fruit, hints of cocoa and clove, and the hallmark Dry Creek Valley structure—firm, balanced, and built to last. Power and polish move together here, creating depth without excess.

LABEL ARTWORK & DESIGN
by Eric Guerra & Mindi Abair
We designed this label with the same intention and respect we bring to the wine itself. The artwork is meant to feel like the visual voice of Outlaw—honest, grounded, and deeply rooted in tradition. At the center sits the acoustic guitar, worn and expressive, a symbol of songs written the hard way and played straight from the soul.
The layered textures and muted tones echo the rugged beauty of Dry Creek Valley, where warm days, cool nights, and generations of independence shape both the land and the wine. Subtle lines and weathered detail hint at rhythm and movement, like music carried on dusty roads and late-night radio.
This label isn’t decoration—it’s a declaration. It speaks to those who believe the best stories are earned, not polished. Raw, expressive, and unapologetically real—this is Outlaw, in both sound and sight.
Outlaw country doesn’t ask for permission—and neither does this wine. I created this playlist to honor the artists who broke the rules, trusted their instincts, and wrote songs that felt more like confessions than performances. These are voices with gravel in them, lyrics that linger, and melodies that stay long after the song ends. From the unmistakable voices of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash to the raw honesty of Kris Kristofferson and the next generation carrying that torch, every track here shares the same spirit as this wine—bold, grounded, and unapologetically real. Pour a glass, press play, and let the music tell its story alongside the wine.
