One Hope is a
brand that everyone should feel good about drinking. Not only is it a good quality wine, but 50%
of the profits are donated to support our troops and their families. Profits
from One Hope’s zinfandel go to Snowball express, and organization that
supports families and children of fallen soldiers. Since September 11, 2001 more than 8,000
children have lost a U.S. service-member parent as a result of ongoing
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Winemaker’s
notes: “ONEHOPE California Zinfandel starts with the foundation of
an all-American grape, then custom blended with Syrah from select vineyards
throughout Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast of California. ONEHOPE
Zinfandel is a rich red color with loads of juicy dark fruit flavors including
plum and black cherry, with hints of pepper and a spicy finish. This delicious
wine is versatile and pairs well with dishes such as pizza, barbeque ribs and
lamb.”
