ZINFANDEL OLD VINE 2021

Parker review

.Bedrock's Morgan Twain-Peterson MW: This is one of the strongest Old Vine Zinfandel bottlings we have made to date albeit a slightly different blend composition, it leans more heavily into fruit from Sonoma and Contra Costa counties. The finished blend is 85% Zinfandel with 7% Carignan, 4% Cinsault and bits and bobs of Grand Noir, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and other field-blended varieties. As usual, the average vine age is around 80 years old, which makes this truly an “old vine” cuvee. Great fruit but also its spice, energy and freshness. This year, this wine has an added degree of intensity to it that will make it great for early consumption or time sideways in the cellar. JebDunnuck 92 Most of the fruit for the 2021 Zinfandel Old Vine comes from Sonoma. Ripe ruby hued, the wine is fresh with ripe berries and white pepper spice, as well as roses. Medium-bodied, with good structure, fresh acidity, and fine tannins, it has a fully dry style. It is an outstanding value and would also be an outstanding wine to pour by the glass. Drink it over the next few years.
