Lots of black berry, plum, vanilla with enough tannin to go with food. Perfect w roast duck.

It’s luscious, complex , balanced, delicious, and ready to pair with rich foods (950 views) | | | Tasted by wordstar on 8/28/2020 & rated 92 points: Beautiful balance of complex flavors. While blackberry was evident, the finish was nicely round and delicious. (1398 views) | | | Tasted by Swan1 on 6/12/2020 & rated 95 points: Have to agree with previous notes. This wine is beautifully balanced. Can a Zin be elegant? This is. The fruit, spice and earth flavors are so well integrated. (1489 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 6/2/2020 & rated 94 points: Boy was this wine delicious! We usually finish our Old Vine Zins well ahead of the four year mark, but somehow this bottle escaped our attention. It was so well integrated, complete, and delicious that I am thinking of hiding a few bottles of the most recent vintage. Great dark red fruit, a bit of spice and lots of pure pleasure.

(985 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 3/14/2019 & rated 93 points: This wine is terrific! Full of rich dark red fruit and spices. Great mouth-feel and purity. The best bottle yet. (959 views) | | | Tasted by WineSnob7 on 2/27/2019 & rated 91 points: One of Steves finest Zins (925 views) | | | Tasted by Alex & Beibian Diaz on 11/24/2018: As noted by the other reviews, this wine is still very young. I’d hold for another year or two. (976 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 11/21/2018 & rated 93 points: Deep red fruit flavors with great depth without feeling "heavy". (831 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 8/14/2018 & rated 92 points: Really, really good old vines zinfandel. This wine is best when it is decanted and left to breath out. We didn't (again!), but did drink over several hours. The last was the best. It demonstrated remarkable depth and richness of dark red fruits and some subtle Zinfandel spice. (774 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 7/31/2018 & rated 92 points: Drank over several hours and allowed the baby to open up. It showed a very rich and full sense of being an older vine zinfandel. There is subtle spicy here too. Very well crafted with no off-flavors or defects. (697 views) | | | Tasted by lvjohn on 6/13/2018 & rated 91 points: No notes, but we had no trouble drinking this wine. Nice old vine depth and quality. Nice mouth feel. Drank over two days with the second one being the better. (787 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| Zichichi Family Vineyard Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
