Dry Creek Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

The 2021 Old Vine Zinfandel showcases the concentration and character of mature Dry Creek Valley vineyards. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, plum, black pepper, and baking spice lead into a rich, full-bodied palate layered with ripe dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle oak notes. Smooth tannins and vibrant acidity provide balance, finishing long with classic Zinfandel spice and depth.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with barbecue ribs, grilled sausages, smoked brisket, pulled pork, pizza, and aged cheddar.

93 Points - James Suckling

Brooding aromas of plums, raspberry coulis, spices and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of licorice, blackberries, boysenberries and tobacco leaves. Bold yet polished and pure.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Fresh berry-fruit flavors, a good structure of moderate tannins and a velvety texture make this wine a winner. A full body supports blackberry and raspberry notes for a delicious, appetizing expression. Incorporating 20% Petite Sirah and 3% Alicante Bouschet grapes, the wine is ready to drink any time.
