Old Vine Red Lot #30


Appellation: California
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Released September 1, 2002

The increased percentage of Zinfandel is evident in the blackberry, peppery, spicy aromas backed by hints of vanilla and oak. Flavors of ripe berries and spice quickly coat the palate yet sufficient acidity focuses this mélange to a lingering finish. Put it in a blind Zinfandel tasting just for fun.

10% Grenache and Gamay

Aroma: Ripe black berry fruit, black pepper spice, and hints of oak
