“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.

RATING:   Satisfied

I originally purchased this wine in conjunction with a tasting of Four Vines  and J Dusithumbs up 75 2006 Fourvines Old Vine Cuvee Zinfandel 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.
