The 2009 Zinfandel Old Vine walks a hypothetical path between the complexity foresty spicy notes of Pinot Noir and the exuberant ripe rich blue and black fruits of Zinfandel. Blackberry blueberry black cherry pepper spice and forest floor characteristics result in a complex medium to full-bodied supple-textured Zinfandel. This gorgeous Zin is already irresistible and should drink nicely for 4-5 years.

This shows a distinctive sense of place featuring aromas of huckleberry and fresh underbrush as well as complex potent flavors of berry cobbler minerals and roasted sage. Needs time. Best from 2013 through 2017. 1000 cases made. -TF
