| Chateau/Producer: | Villa Mt. Eden | | Wine Name: | Old Vine California Zinfandel | | Country: | USA | | State: | CA | | Region: | Napa Valley | | Wine Score: | 93 | | Notes: | Ruby/garnet red w/no traces of fading along edges, nose of menthol, berries, plums, rich raspberry, extremely flavorful - seemingly sweet yet tart with firm body (medium-heavy), wonderfully-backing tannins that fade away in perfect time to let the finish wash over you like a slightly cool wave on a warm beach. Paid $3.99 at Martin's in a clearance bin. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-03-23 | | Varietal: | Zinfandel | | Additional Notes: | This a good example of those classic "wine finds" that people come across. Some distributor dumped a bunch of wine they had sitting around in their warehouse; I was at the right place at the right time; much of it hadn't been tasted so I figured it was worth a shot for the price and it turned out great. | | Price US$: | 3.99 | | Source: | Martin's Wine Cellar |
