Old Vine Red Lot #29
Appellation: California
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Released April 15, 2002
Hints of toasty vanilla oak compliment
an aromatic core of ripe raspberry jam and black pepper
spice. A serious wine yet eminently approachable…
broad and lush on the palate with an ever so slight
tannic, acidic, lingering finish. Zinfandel from Paso
Robles and Mendocino play a more dominant role than
past offerings lending buoyant fruit and structure
respectively. This is a very classy Old Vine Red.
