Dry Creek Valley Old Vine Zinfandel

Blackberry, raspberry, violet, vanilla, eucalyptus, mossy earth and oak. Good structure and moderate tannins.

V13. Very good. Rich purple color. Soft cedar, tobacco and spice nose. Blue and blackberry fruits. Long, full, dry, peppery finish. Nicely balanced.

Great smooth zin. Complex but muted flavors make this a great wine with or without food.

Peppery nose and ashy Larry + stone fruit palate...

Actually liked the cheaper heritage vines better. This was a bit monochromatic in terms of fruit profile.

Loved this zin

Jammy, old vine Zin . Flavors of cherry syrup, full bodied,smooth tannins.

Anthem of the Seas

Color of dark red with purple note in the rim, a bit cloudy but mostly clear. Nose of nice black fruits, powerful acidity, herbs, raw tobacco leaves, and hotness from the alcohol. Taste is jammy, dense and silky. Nice notes of sweet cherry jam, strawberries, herbs, a bit oaky, and moderate strong tannins, after breaking it up with the tongue. Aftertaste is lingering sweetness of cherry jam, black pepper, zest, with some oaky note, medium long. Round and pleasant. It is more complex than usual Zinfandel you found in the market.

Great old vine zin, rich and jammy, lots of luscious dark fruit with a nice amount of spice and tannins to firm things up.
