BY this point it is well documented how much I love and appreciate old vine Zinfandel. From the history to the wine it’s all great. I rarely try to evaluate Zinfandel because it is one of the few wines I just, well drink. This is a lovely example of just that! Go California. Long live Zinfandel !!!

Big, but actually pretty elegant. Nicely done. 2009 vintage.

Produced from patches of zin vineyards. Smooth, light, flavorful. Still tasted great 3 days after opening.

Elegant boysenberry with a hint of baking spice and black pepper. Zingy acid and a touch of sweetness. Medium tannin, well integrated, leaving a slightly bitter finish. A stealthy panther of a wine.

2010 Vintage. Not stored properly but still a good solid Zin. Some good structure and great tannins. Spicy and dark berries.

2013. Deep Ruby coloration. On the nose, strong black cherry, strawberry, spice and tobacco. On the palate, cherry, with an oaky, vanilla finish. Strong tannins.
