Wine of the Week
2019 Woodenhead 1925/1939 Old Vine Zinfandel, Alexander Valley – $35
Medium dark ruby in color. Aromas of sweet briar predominate, dark fruits with a little creamy toasted oak. Maybe a little rose and Earl Grey tea also. Mouthfilling, almost explosive (in a good way). Dark plums and berries, blueberries and blood orange. Asian spices underlay with interesting herbal characteristics. Substantial yet elegant.
