Old Vine Red Lot #52

Appellation: California
Winemaker: Chris and Scot Bilbro
Released: June 2010

Old Vine Red is a challenging yet fun wine to make. Our goal is always quality and consistency. A non-vintage proprietary blend gives us lots of flexibility to accomplish this, and since we release it three times per year, it’s always interesting to adjust the wine to the season. Lot 52 is a classic example. This summer release is bursting with bright, fresh berry and cherry fruit and spice yet it boasts sufficient body, weight and texture to accompany barbeque, spicy salsa topped foods, blackened cajun chicken, or to sip with fresh fruit on a warm summer eve. Focused on fruit with just a hint of toasty oak, this Zinfandel based blend should be enjoyed over the next couple of years if you can let is last that long.

Grape Source: Primarily Sonoma and Mendocino Counties
Color: Dark Ruby Purple
Aging Potential: Best within 1-3 years
