Of this Old Vine Zin, Bogle says:
Bright, ripe and intriguing our Old Vine Zin bursts from the glass with aromas of raspberries and pink peppercorns. Cranberries mix well with brambly berries, creating dense fruit flavors framed by pipe tobacco leaf and cedar. Finishing with great structure and moderate tannins, this wine is the epitome of balance and finesse, while never compromising its authentic Zinfandel character.
90 point from the Wine Enthusiast:
This California Zin does not disappoint. An elevated acidity gives the wine energy, uplifting the fresh fruit notes of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry. Well-integrated oak means a subtle dusting of nutmeg, star anise and clove. Tannins are a resolved, chalky texture, adding structural integrity and never distracting.
