Have yet to have an old vine zin that I didn't like. This one included. Slight sweetness, deep caramel and berry fruit flavors, and a sophistication that makes old vine zins the "cougars" of red wine.

Not as good as their Pinot Noir imo. Feels a little bland. But still good for the price (10.99)

Love this wine. Tasted it at the California Wine Fair last year and was blown away. Can't buy it in AB, but found it in Hawaii and brought 2 bottles home.

Great oak, strong, a bit of currant, round tannins, smooth finish, hint of smokiness
