2018 Mounts Old Vine Zinfandel Estate Grown
Tasting Notes
Rich, dark berry fruit fills your nose and teases you with baking spices, earth, and toast. The balanced, yet deep red to black fruit flavors will comfort you as well as delight your palate. It is not overdone or flashy. This wine sings with terroir driven personality, a lusciousness only one can expect from 50 plus year old vines.
