WINE DESCRIPTION
Three Wine Company Old Vines Zinfandel is a distinctive blend, primarily Zinfandel complemented by Carignane, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet. Winemaker Matt Cline’s commitment to sustainable viticulture shines through each bottle, highlighting the family-owned winery’s philosophy of nurturing the “dirt, micro-climate, and sustainable wine growing.” Sourced from pre-Phylloxera vines rooted in Delhi Sandy Loam, this Zinfandel showcases the unique terroir of its sandy loam vineyard blocks. This rich soil composition imparts character and depth to the wine, reflecting both heritage and a hands-on approach to winemaking.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Three Wine Company Old Vines Zinfandel opens with concentrated dark berry notes and a hint of spice, thanks to the blend’s added Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet.Its smooth, velvety structure pairs beautifully with barbecued meats, grilled vegetables, or robust pasta dishes. For optimal enjoyment, serve slightly below room temperature (around 16–18°C), and consider short-term cellaring to deepen its complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Three Wine Company
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
