XYZin 2007 Vine Age Series 100 Year Old Vines Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Vine Age Series 100 Year Old Vines
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: XYZin / Dry Creek Valley

Dry, complex and tannic now, a young Zinfandel that gives your mouth a sandpapery, grippy feeling. Flavorwise, the wine is a little direct in fruit, offering waves of wild black, red and blue berries, tamari, mocha, molasses, sandalwood and pepperspice flavors. Not many Zins require time, but this one will benefit from 4–8 years in a cool cellar.
