1994 Old Vine Zinfandel

The grapes for this wine are sourced from St. Helena and, as a special treat in this (our third) vintage, a small lot from Louis Martini's Monte Rosso Vineyard in Sonoma has been added. The long-awaited is now available, so get your six bottles while you can -- this sells out immediately! 350 cases.
"unbridled power..." "...a huge, toasty, oaky, smoky, jammy, black-raspberry-scented nose, and unctuously thick fat flavors..."
"...brawny, massive..."

Cost: US$ 16.00

Old Vine Zinfandel Wine Information

Nils Venge has been making Zinfandel since 1992. The majority of each vintage has come from Zinfandel grapes grown on the floor of the Napa Valley near St. Helena, California. In 1994, an additional small lot of grapes came from the Monte Rosso vineyard in Sonoma which is owned by the Martini Family. Nils always blends a little Cabernet Sauvignon into each vintage to add depth. Our Zinfandel is always treated to 100% brand new American oak and is no exception to the rule of "meal-in-a-glass" Zinfandels. The Saddleback Zinfandel has gained quite a reputation as a "monster Zin" and is in great demand. This wine has a track record of selling out within 30-45 days of release.

Our Zinfandel is always treated to 100% new American oak barrels. This meaty giant is no exception to the rule of "meal-in-a-glass" Zinfandels.
