Old North State

Kirkland Signature

Old Vine Sonoma County Zinfandel 2021

Medium purple in color; blackberries, blueberries, and oak on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blueberry jam, black plum, crushed gravel, and a little eucalyptus with a long finish. I really like this wine. Nellie likes it too. — 24 days ago

Langtry

Old Soldier Road Tephra Ridge Vineyard Merlot Blend 2019

This inky, Merlot-dominant blend is a full-on Goth wine: dark currants, dark cherries, dark blueberries…

The oak is restrained and the jamminess is less than in recent releases. A bit of decanting helps to reduce the jam factor a lot.

I’m still not completely sold on the “new and improved” Langtry wine style, but I see this as a solid step in the right direction, perhaps someday restoring Old Soldier Road to its former greatness.

A little more elegant and lower acidity than other sparklingly wines. A pale pink pastel. — 3 years ago

Rosewood Vineyards Old Vine Petite Sirah

Out of magnum at my historic house. Just me and the kid. He watches. I think this is profound now. Probably a hard release back then but ethereal today — 5 months ago

9.0

Pleasant surprise: legit Zin here, maybe a touch hot but intense varietal fruit & character, impressive extraction & finesse. Brambly gnarly a lot of personality… Believe this was under $20 and that’s great QPR. Mendo can still produce value — 5 months ago
