Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel - 2022 (750ml)

The Old Vine Zinfandel is a tribute to the farmers who maintained these vineyards for many years, even up to a century. It is made from various vineyards in the Sierra Foothills AVA area and produces a refined red wine that resembles the original Zinfandel wine before it became overly sweet. This wine is well-balanced, with multiple layers and a smooth texture that offers a refreshing taste of blackberry and raspberry flavors, complemented by a sharp acidity and fine-grained tannins.

Sassy, dense aromas of black currant and sarsaparilla peppered with creamed orange sherbet fill the nose, a smattering of cracked black pepper, and juicy grippy tannins and citrus zest on the finish. Decant and Enjoy with charcuterie and dried fruits — Tonya Pitts
