Old Vine Red Lot #35


Appellation: California
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro

Lot 35 looks and tastes a lot like our Zinfandel, which incidentally makes up half of the blend. It is rich, ripe, juicy, and ready to drink with lots of blackberry fruit and hints of pepper and spice. It would probably stand up well in a blind Zin tasting.

Lot 35 falls right in line with the 34 lots prior; it is a balanced, approachable, lip-smacking red wine ready to drink upon purchase.

30% Carignane
10% Petite Sirah

Color: Dark ruby purple

Aroma: Ripe blackberry fruit and black pepper spice
