A dark garnet color and an aromatic nose of black pepper and spice leads to flavors of raspberry, dark cherry with a hint of blueberry.
The medium-bodied palate has accents of graphite and cayenne pepper with a mouthcoating finish of spice, chocolate, bacon, and tobacco.
Try with brisket, flank steak, grilled sausages, or ribs. This is a meat-lovers wine!
Vineyard Notes
Our 22nd vintage of Old Vine Zinfandel is crafted from the 95 year-old Frediani Vineyard in Calistoga, Napa Valley. The vineyard sits in the middle of the valley on gravelly soil and experiences the brutal heat of Calistoga during the day with cool nights.
