2002 Old Vine Zinfandel
|
$22.50
|
Our Old Vine is a Zinfandel field mix -- about 50% Zin,
with the rest a mixture of Petite Syrah, Mourvedre, Alicante
Bouschet, and Carignan. It has nice complexity and mouthfeel,
rich fruit, soft tannins, and a wonderful spicy finish. It’s a
great food wine. From the same ranch as our regular Zinfandel,
these no-spray, dry farmed vines were planted in the 1950`s,
and yield only about one ton per acre.
