Old Soul Old Vine Zinfandel

Old Soul's Old Vine Zinfandel is a testament to the enduring character of Lodi's ancient vineyards. This red wine embodies the rich heritage of its old vine origins, presenting a deep, concentrated profile that is synonymous with classic Zinfandel. Expect an expressive tapestry of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum that envelops the palate, underpinned by delicate whispers of spice that add depth and intrigue to each sip. The wine's full-bodied nature is balanced by a moderate tannic structure and a lively acidity, ensuring a harmonious drinking experience that retains its vibrancy from start to finish. This Zinfandel is ideally served slightly cooler than room temperature, around 60-65°F (15-18°C), to accentuate its fruit-forward qualities and spice nuances. Pouring it into a large-bowled glass will allow the wine to breathe and its bouquet to fully unfurl, though decanting is not necessary. Whether enjoyed now for its immediate appeal or tucked away for a few years to further develop, it remains a versatile companion to a variety of culinary delights. Pair Old Soul's Old Vine Zinfandel with robust dishes that can match its intensity. Grilled meats, particularly those with a smoky or peppery edge, resonate beautifully with the wine's dark fruit and spice notes. For a vegetarian option, consider hearty stews or roasted vegetables seasoned with herbs that harmonize with the wine's complex character. This Zinfandel is crafted for immediate enjoyment yet holds potential for aging, allowing its flavors and aromas to evolve gracefully over time.
