About the Wine: The label of this wine advertises that it comes from a ten year old vine. This is encouraging, as many lesser Zinfandels describe themselves as "old vine" without specifying the age of the vines is question.
About THIS Wine: XYZin is a fairly light plum color in the glass. The nose is surprisingly rich, given the light color. Smoke is prominent along with oak and jammy fruit. The fruit delivers on the palate with a thick, almost syrupy texture with just a touch of sweetness and mild spice. The spice and sweetness linger in a pleasant finish.
Drinking This Wine: This would be fine as a sipping wine. It would also go well with unfrosted cake or any other moist bread.
Overall Impression: Very good wine and good for the price.
