"Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah plucked from vines a half-century old, this wine rested in neutral French oak for a year. The balanced, medium-bodied Old Vine possesses muscular tannins, jangly acidity and a chalky texture. Aromas and flavors of blackberry jam, orange zest, earthy beeswax and cumin seed make for a joyous experience. ‡ Michael Alberty"
