Hartford Old Vines Zin from Russian River Valley. Diabolical Cali zin with a strong aroma of crushed Pomegranates. Deep, concentrated and full throttle. Chewy and jammy core with all the silliness of a 1000 ballerinas dancing gently on my tongue. On point and outrageous. A fantastic wine with which to relax.

Not your typical Zin. Heavy earth and minerality, slightly muted nose opens someday to reveal a good backbone of red dark fruit. Bracing tannin for Zin, but never egregious. A pleasant surprise. Built for age.
