Purchase Four Vines Old Vine Cuvee California Zinfandel 2005

The style of this California Zinfandel is plump, fruit forward, tart with some oak spice. The appearance is that of dark candy apple red with a slight haze. The aromas is loganberry, framboise, raisins, cola spice and caramelized oak. Medium-bodied and sweet tart on the front of the tongue, the richly layered mature fruit flavors combine with cola spice and the finish kicks out a modicum of caramelized oak. All in all it has been classified as "Decadent value!"
