Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"This silky but full-bodied wine was made from a non-irrigated, 50-year-old vineyard. It tastes ripe and generous, offering ample berry aromas and grapey plummy flavors. It's big and mouthcoating but not very tannic, keeping the texture smooth and soft."  

James Suckling, 90 Points 

"Fruity and rich zin with cherry and raspberry character as well as some mushroom. Flavorful and savory. Slightly one dimensional but very zin all the same. Drink now."

Winemaking Notes: 

"Bella Grace’s Old Vine Zinfandel tradition continues with grapes sourced again from the 100+ year old vineyard at the Crain-Sleeper Ranch. Our 2016 OVZ has a beautiful, rich magenta color with subtle hints of cherry and other red fruit on the nose. Across the palate, the red fruit theme continues with bright cherry, soft oak tannins and white pepper. Enjoy the long, lush finish with or without a rich chocolate dessert or tangy cheese!" 

Pairing Suggestions: "If you are not pairing this crowd-pleasing Old Vine Zinfandel with large red meats, BBQ dishes and pasta, then it is destined for dessert: Creamy aged blue cheese, flourless decadent brownies, and bacon infused chocolates drizzled in Dulce de Leche." 

Alcohol: 14.7% 

Sustainably dry farmed from old vines.
