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.
