"The 2013 Zinfandel Old Vines, a blend from old-vine sites primarily planted between 1881 and 1895, is sensational Zinfandel, tipping the scales at a lofty 15.7% alcohol, but there is not a hint of heat. A terrific nose of cracked black pepper, black raspberries, licorice, earth and fresh meat jumps from the glass of this full-bodied, opulent wine, which also shows striking minerality, no doubt from the ancient vine root systems that go deep into the Russian River soil and bedrock. This is a beauty, full-bodied, majestic and ideal for drinking now and over the next 5-8 years."
