WINE DESCRIPTION
This Old Soul Old Vine Zinfandel is a bold, complex red wine with a deep, dark ruby color. On the nose, there are intense aromas of ripe berry and cherry, with hints of licorice and smoky oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with generous flavors of brambly berry, sweet spice, and licorice, balanced by firm tannins and subtle oak notes. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant spice-inflected finish. This is an excellent wine for hearty meals, such as roast beef or game.

ORIGINS
Winery: Old Soul
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
