Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberries. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for variety of dishes. Any type of meat - where its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with tomato- based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses."


My Review: This wine did remind me of an old vine/old world type of wine . It was a full bodied Zinfandel with an Earthy, full smelling wine. The wine was tasty and was smokey and thick and was pretty awesome on the finish. the wine was rather dry and you could feel the tannins  dry out your palate.
