2018 Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel presents an intense ruby red color in the glasses' core with an external maroon rim.This wine shows instantly fruity aromas of ripe red cherry, pomegranate, freshly picked blackberry with a delicate touch of vanilla bean at the end to define the profile. In the mouth, balance is the key, and an old vine reflects it in the glass. The wine is a classy dry-style Zinfandel where the fruit is intense but does not overwhelm the natural structure. The equilibrium of acidity, alcohol, and tannins create perfect and integrated harmony. It matches the notes detected in the nose after sipping and completes them by enhancing berries and species. To appreciate the fresh primary aromas and flavors coming from our fruits is recommended to drink it now or stored and aged for the next four years and beyond to develop tertiary ones like baked berries and dried fruits.
