Old Vine Napa Valley Zinfandel
Napa Valley, California, USA
Both big/dense and surprisingly perfumed. It offers enough richness to satisfy folks who like rich Cali Cab but also an understated elegance on the palate with lingering floral notes.

2004. Great Zin. Touch of petite sirah for color works.

Deep purple color with some ruby variations towards the rim. High viscosity. On nose wine is clean medium plus intensity. Blue and black fruits. Tart plum, raisins. Oak present. On mouth wine is very fruity almost appears to be sweet. Acidity appears low but high alcohol is not noticeable, so acidity must be higher. Tannin really silk

My first time trying this producer’s Zin. I opened this yesterday knowing that it likely needed more time but was too impatient to wait. Decanted for 2 hours and it still gave off heat from alcohol, but started to develop with time in the glass. Day 2 and this wine has improved significantly. This wine is jammy, but not overly. I think this wine will really shine with a couple more years in the bottle. Will wait to open the next one.
