2013 Premier Old Vine Zinfandel is beautiful and dark, with glints of ruby red. Blended from 50 individual lots of Old Vine Zinfandel and aged 16 months in the finest French oak, the resulting wine is intriguing and sumptuous. Chocolate, raspberry and vanilla bean greet you on the nose, followed by bright red fruit flavored. Both powerful and refined, the finesse of this wine makes it perfect for an everyday sip, or for a special meal. An opulent wine, to enjoy now and for the next 5 years. — 9 years ago
Old vine grenache at its finest. Aromatic, expressive and mineral with fruit focused on the palate. Sand over ferrous sandstone. — 10 years ago

One the finest Zins I've ever had! Yes! — 12 years ago
Chairmans selection in PA. LIVED UP TO IT. Ate with sushi. Bold but not overwhelming. Fruity flavor. Smooth and refreshing. — 9 years ago
Kicking goal at 17 years old.
A culmination of vine pedigree, cork selection, proper cellaring, and decanted at the right time.
It evolved for over 3 hours.
A credit to Penfolds ability to make even lower tier wines with substance.
Soft tannin, earth, spice, surprising fruit! — 9 years ago

Finest Zin I have ever tasted. — 9 years ago
Oregon's oldest plantings include this rare, overlooked Semillon that Jeff Vejr makes from the historic Coury vineyard. Simply unadorned yet huge, gorgeous, and begs the question: why isn't there more Semillon growing old & bodacious in Oregon? BTW, this is Jeff's premium selection, named "Ode to Chuck" for Charles Coury! — 9 years ago
Even though there are plenty of aweful wines made from Zin, I still consider it one of my favorite grapes - and tasting one like this makes it clear why. Rustic with olive and brushy bramble spices. Powerful but made authentically - drinking a glass you become instantly transported to some beautiful vineyard in Sonoma. Sense of place, pleasurable and interesting. This is American wine at its finest. — 10 years ago
Made from the juice of only the finest, ripest llamas. Great care was obviously taken when squeezing these llamas to preserve the fresh llama aroma and flavor. — 11 years ago
California Wine Club nails it again! They always send varietals that is never buy from a region I'm usually not a fan of - this selection paired well with chicken parm with a red pepper marinara. — 11 years ago
A compelling blend of California’s finest plantings of Old Vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, this wine surpasses all expectation for pure enjoyment and approachability.
Calling on their years of experience and tradition, Bogle winemakers have delivered a wine with...
RICH, enticing layers of complexity, starting with that first
irresistible sip.
RIPE fruit, intense with flavors of boysenberries and sweet cherries.
LUSCIOUS vanilla, caressing the palate from barrel aging in American and French oak.
JUICY and silky throughout, with a finish that lingers of black licorice and spicy pipe tobacco.

Bright pink rose with a bit of a darker fruit profile, I'm guessing that characteristic comes from the heavy dose of 100+yr old mourvedre. There is also a melon note here that is delicious and keeps me reaching for the next glass. Great rose year after year but this may be its finest vintage to date. — 8 years ago
