Renwood 2000 Old Vine Zinfandel
The term “Old Vine” always conjurs up excitement when I read it on a label.
I found Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel to have the elements that zin-drinkers look for in a wine.
It has ripe fruit, texture in the mouth, and a gripping finish.
The palate explodes with ripe blackberry, blueberry, clove, tobacco, and black pepper.
The fruit is a ample enough to handle the acidity perfectly.
The tannins on the finish give a velvety mouth-feel of bitter chocolate.
This is the stuff good zinfandels are made of.
Worthy of a steak, a burger, or a hearty tomato sauce dish.
You gotta love this well made spicy zinfandel.
Retail price $20. Tasted August 14, 2003. Two dazzling  .
