Very fresh, lively, primarily redfruited aromas and flavors, some spicy notes as well, super nicely balanced, great acid, shows admirable restraint, should age nicely midterm (5-10 years?), very good “entry level” Zinfandel, long finish!! I’d read that the 2023 Zins, grown in a relatively cooler year, had a very long growing season, with excellent acidity, and I’d say this shows all of those characteristics. Morgan nailed this, it was great to finally meet his “adult” version, my wife and I first met him about 35 years ago at a ZAP event at Ravenswood hosted by his father Joel. — 3 months ago

From Joel’s library release: This is the 1988 vintage of the Old Vine Sonoma County. Still fresh and alive with all the complexity of thirty two year old wine. Sweet cedar and cherry on the nose; firm acidity and still somewhat tannic; good follow through on the palate with more cherry and cloves. Great wine!! — 3 years ago

Perfectly aged wine. Amazing secondary characteristics - dried fruits and tobacco - that remind me why wine can be so good — 2 years ago
