2006 Four Vines Old Vine Cuvee Zinfandel

Taste: 5/5

Price: $18

Value: 4.5/5

I recently had the pleasure of tasting Zinfandels from across California: Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara and Lodi. I found that my favorites by far were the ones from Lodi, although I suspect the reason I liked them was not so much due to their locale, but to the fact that they were both old vine Zins. I found them both to have a wonderful jamminess to them. This very well may be my new favorite red! I recently bought Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin at $10 to see if I can get the same great experience for 1/2 the price.
