Perception
Reality Old Vines Zinfandel
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Dark red and purple and near totally opaque on the poor. A wonderful nose of ground pepper corns and allspice with a crazy little hint of Bordeaux wafting above. And the spices do not disappear when the juice reaches the tongue. This is a lively, hot, exciting Zin with dark fruit to balance and even counterpoint the aggressive savory spice. A fun bottle not to be taken lightly. 15.1%ABV.
