1995 Old Vine Zinfandel

Way over the top, the 1995 Zin is a deep ruby color, with a jammy nose, intense spicy white pepper, a rich, smoky, vanilla oak nose. This beauty is packed with summer blackberries, ripe black cherries, hints of tangerine, and has a wonderfully complex, amazingly long finish. Yow!

92 - Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate

...richest and most intense Zinfandels of the vintage... amazingly lavish aromas of toasty oak and black fruits... beautifully textured... jammy black-raspberry fruit... rich, blockbuster-styled Zinfandel...

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.
