2012 Russian River Valley Old Vine Zinfandel
A bold, complex Zin from a high-end Russian River Valley producer.
$12
Plum and pepper up front, with the brighter raspberry notes in the back ground. On the palate, lush, juicy red fruits and spicy/savory notes round out with a long, complex finish. Deftly balanced all the way around and, just damn fine wine. Screams for burgers on the grill or just as a pop and pour after work.
Style: Medium, Fruity
Flavors: Raspberry, Spice
