1997 Villa Mt. Eden Old Vine California Zinfandel[California]
[Zinfandel]
Posted by unknown on 2004-03-04 19:22:32 [Show TN in Text Format]
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
