Label Description:

“This Old Vine cuvee was selected from vineyards in the top Zinfandel appleations of California. Old vinefruit lends increased depth and character to the blend. Aged in small French and American oak barrels, this wine begins with silky layers of berry gruit and spice, then glides into lingering oak finish. Enjoy with candle light and a friend”

RATING:   Satisfied

I originally purchased this wine in conjunction with a tasting of Four Vines  and J Dusi Vineyards Zinfandels in May 2009. This particular bottle was not offered for tasting but the representative of Four Vines ( Bill Grant) suggested that this was a great buy. He was right!

The label description is very accurate. Now .. I am not suggesting this is a wine that will “knock your socks off”, but it is an excellent everyday wine that will definitely please. Retail $10.99 / purchased originally at $8.78 … steal at this price!  Highly recommended at this price point.
