Zin-Phomaniac Reserve Old Vines Zinfandel 2015

Zin-Phomaniac Reserve Old Vines Zinfandel is praised for its rich, jammy fruitiness and supple structure, with notes of plum, black cherry, and subtle black pepper. While some enjoy its silky texture and spicy oak finish, others find it drying. It pairs well with hearty dishes and is appreciated for its depth and complexity.

This Zinfandel, sourced from venerable old vines, presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of black pepper, underscored by subtle notes of vanilla and cedar from judicious oak aging. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances its rich fruit core. The finish is long and layered, with nuances of dark chocolate and a whisper of spice. This wine exemplifies the quintessential character of premium California Zinfandel, offering both power and elegance.
