Engelmann Zinfandel California(2002)

The grapes used to produce this Very Old Vine Zinfandel come from a head trained pre-prohibition vineyard located near a dry tributary to the Kings river in Del Rey, CA. This loose gravely soil and the restrictive nature of these old vines produces a wine rich in character, with a solid structure, and a deep lingering finish, that will keep developing over the coming years. The result of these exceptional conditions and premium growing techniques is a medium bodied wine, with oodles of raspberry flavors, accompanied by vanilla, and cinnamon spice. The berry and spice flavors intermingle perfectly read more...with a lingering finish that will remain well after your glass is empty. Pair with any grilled meats, hearty red sauce and pasta, or any chocolate dessert.
