Old Vines Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2013

Clove. Star anise. Warmth. The acid that holds this wine together is stunning. At 15.7 abv (shows a little on the nose, but more on the finish) this is not a shy wine. Kudos Mike for giving 0 F's and making balanced killer Cali old vine zin. — 10 years ago

Starr Road Ranch Moratto Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel 2011

Big bold and beautiful. The bouquet flies out of the glass. My little brother introduced to Gamba and loved it since. The 2011 Starr Road brings everything black in fruit. Black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry and even a little bit of black currant. Mellow tannins give a lasting finish that slides down like liquid silk. — 11 years ago

Streicker

Ironstone Block Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Mid Ruby. Nose screams Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. Quality at that. Herbaceous brambly cedary notes with some black fruits but essentially savoury. Medium powdery tannins with medium - acid with a persistent finish. Drink now or cellar for another 5 years. — 9 years ago
