Dry Creek Old Vine Zinfandel ‘21

From gnarly, head-trained vines averaging 60+ years old, this 2020 Zinfandel bursts with concentrated flavors of blackberry compote, boysenberry, and dark chocolate, layered with exotic baking spices and a touch of black pepper. The palate shows remarkable depth, with velvety tannins and bright acidity framing the rich fruit, while subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak add complexity. Scoring 94 points for its perfect balance of power and elegance, this wine finishes with lingering dark fruit and spice. A quintessential expression of Dry Creek Valley's old vine heritage, pair it with smoked ribs or wild game.
