This Zinfandel, from vines planted in 1904, is forest-dark with brambly, black fruit and tons of supporting characters. The nose emits all that you may dream would accompany a wine made from 114-year-old vines. There is spice, there is tobacco, there is tar. Leather, dirt and oil also appear. The palate is similarly dark, but surprisingly youthful and perfumed. The acidity rips, the tannins roar and the wine does its duty on marbled beef.
