Old Vine Red Lot #32


Appellation: California
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Released July 1, 2003

Old Vine Red Lot #32 is very much in line with Lot #31. A big, round, juicy offering, Lot #32 is a more serious Old Vine than past Lots. Predominantly Zin, as usual, Lot 32 coats the palate with luscious blackberry fruit and is balanced by peppery spice both on the palate and aromatically. Aged in French and American oak, this wine should drink well over the next few years.

5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Color: Dark ruby purple

Aroma: Fresh rasberries, black pepper spice, and hints of oak

Lot 32 is a balanced, approachable, lip-smacking red wine ready to drink upon purchase.
