Our Daily Red Organic is a USDA Organic California red blend bottled at 13% ABV in a standard 750ml format. As one of fewer than 0.1% of commercially available U.S. wines carrying full USDA Organic certification, it stands apart for containing no detectable sulfites, no gluten, and being completely vegan — making it a genuinely rare find on retail shelves.Quick Facts: ABV: 13% | Origin: California, USA (Fresno & Mendocino County grapes) | NV Red Blend | Producer: Our Daily, Sonoma, CAProduction & HeritageOur Daily Red is produced in Sonoma, California, drawing fruit from vineyards in both Fresno and Mendocino counties. The blend combines four varieties — Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet, and Carignan — all grown under certified organic practices without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. What distinguishes this wine from most organic-labeled competitors is its adherence to the stricter USDA Organic standard, meaning no sulfites are added at any stage of production, and no added preservatives are used. The result is a wine designed for drinkers who experience sulfite sensitivity or who prioritize minimal-intervention winemaking.Tasting NotesAroma: The nose opens with ripe fresh raspberry and juicy cherry, followed by a subtle lift of violets and a faint undercurrent of dark berry fruit. It reads clean and immediately fruit-forward.Taste: On the palate, cherry dominates the entry, giving way to layers of raspberry, blueberry, and black currant through the mid-palate. A gentle chocolate note emerges toward the back, adding modest depth to what is otherwise a light-bodied, vibrant wine. The tannin structure is soft and approachable rather than grippy.Finish: The finish is elegant and moderate in length, trailing off with lingering hints of currant and mixed berry. There is no heavy oak influence or astringency — it closes cleanly and invites the next sip.How to Drink Our Daily RedThis wine drinks well slightly chilled to around 60°F, which brightens its fruit character and keeps the body lively. It works equally well at standard room temperature for a rounder, softer expression. A Classic Sangria benefits from the wine's natural berry-forward profile, which pairs effortlessly with fresh citrus and stone fruit. A Kalimotxo (red wine and cola) works here because the light body and low tannin keep the drink refreshing rather than heavy. For a simple warm-weather serve, try it in a Red Wine Spritzer with sparkling water and a squeeze of orange — the clean fruit stands up without being overwhelmed.Best For Drinkers with sulfite sensitivities seeking a genuinely sulfite-free red wine Weeknight dinners where a light, easy-drinking red fits the mood Stocking a vegan or organic-focused home bar Introducing organic wine to friends unfamiliar with the category Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Our Daily Red taste like?

Our Daily Red positions as an entry-level organic wine, and its USDA Organic certification with no detectable sulfites gives it a clear functional advantage over many wines at the same price tier that only use organically grown grapes without the full organic winemaking standard.Why Our Daily Red?The single most compelling reason to reach for this wine is its USDA Organic certification — a designation so rare that fewer than 0.1% of wines sold in the United States qualify. That certification means no sulfites are added during any part of the winemaking process, a meaningful distinction for the growing number of consumers who report sulfite-related headaches or sensitivities. Beyond the health-conscious angle, the four-grape blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet, and Carignan delivers genuine varietal complexity at a price point where many competitors offer simple, one-dimensional fruit. For anyone building an organic or vegan-friendly wine collection, this is a foundational bottle that actually delivers on its label claims.
