NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Renwood Premier Old Vine Zinfandel is an excellent example of a California Zinfandel.On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe raspberry, dried herbs, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, with concentrated flavors of dark cherry, raspberry jam, and baking spice. The finish is long, with lingering notes of mocha and sweet oak. A great wine for any occasion.

ORIGINS

Winery: Renwood

Region: Sierra Foothills

The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA. The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.
