Dry Creek Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California) Old Vine Zinfandel 2016

 With its notable blend of berries, pepper and spice, this Zin is definitely noteworthy.  The wine’s concentration and its complex amalgam of flavors is reason enough to seek it out, but the fact that you’re drinking history adds to the pleasure.  The label “Old Vine Zinfandel” is not just a marketing device, for this Zinfandel vineyard dates back to pre-Prohibition days.
