Old Vine Zinfandel

Old Vine Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: Made from grapes from the oldest vines in the Collins Vineyard this is an exceptional wine. Planted in 1910, the vines are dry farmed, head pruned and yield about one ton of fruit per acre. Deep, dark ruby red color leads to aromas of plum, raspberry, caramel and caramelized sugar with a touch of mint, oak char and spice. This wine enters the mouth with intense fruit flavors of plum and blackberry becoming expansive on the middle palate. Strong tones of native acidity lead to a lengthy and smooth finish. A beautifully balanced wine that shows its heritage and terroir well, it is an elegant expression of the original planting of the Collins Vineyard. This wine is drinkable now, but will benefit from some ageing. A fabulous addition to any serious oenophile's cellar.
