DRY CREEK OLD VINE ZINFANDEL 750 ml

Discover the legacy behind Dry Creek Old Vine Zinfandel, where a family winery pioneered the "Old Vine" label back in 1987. These extraordinary vines, averaging over a century in age with some pushing nearly 140 years, deliver a red Zinfandel from California's renowned regions that captures the essence of time-honored viticulture.

Imagine uncorking a bottle that unleashes a bouquet rich in blackberry and boysenberry, mingled with the fresh pop of raspberry. Subtle whispers of cocoa powder, cardamom, toasty cedar, and nutmeg drift upward, inviting your first sip into a world of depth.

Once on the tongue, brambly waves of black cherry, blackberry, and boysenberry unfold, laced with hints of coriander, marzipan, and espresso. This California Zinfandel stands out for its complexity, where bright acidity cuts through, leading to a finish that lingers long after the glass empties. Structured yet soft tannins create a round, rich sensation that feels both powerful and approachable.

At 14.50% ABV in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry red wine (sweetness level 01) shines brightest alongside hearty dishes. Picture it elevating grilled pork, juicy burgers, seared steak, or spicy Italian sausage—each bite enhanced by its generous layers and smooth texture.

For enthusiasts seeking a Zinfandel that tells a story of enduring vines and family tradition, Dry Creek Old Vine Zinfandel offers more than refreshment. It's a journey through California's wine heritage, ready to grace your table at $52.72. Whether hosting friends or savoring solo, this bottling promises memorable moments with every pour.
