Occasional Wine Note: There are no regulations on what can be called "Old Vines" in the US, but this offering absolutely comes from vines that have passed the century mark. This is a Zin that delivers what you would expect from a great California Zinfandel - loads of ripe fruit and pepper. This will be a party favorite at your summer cookout.

An extra layer of ripeness has gorgeous blackberries and raspberries spilling out of this full-bodied, full-throttle wine made from vines averaging 100 years old. Including 17% Petite Sirah, the wine boasts moderate tannins that add to the mouth-filling texture and lingering, fruity finish.
