"Medium ruby purple. Jerky, bramble, garrigue, dried chillies, thyme, roasted blueberries, rosemary, baked earth and cinnamon spice. Weightier than the Juvenile with more structured, grippy tannin. Intense palate impact with a long finish. The acid is fresh but not quite as high as Juvenile. (SCJ)"

"As with the Juvenile bottling, the 2022 Zinfandel Old Vines punches above its weight in this vintage. The nose is considerably deeper, fuller and more polished, opening with aromas of crushed plums, wild berry preserves, tobacco leaves and similar autumnal accents to its younger sibling. The palate is light- to medium-bodied, carrying through the polished quality of the nose and melds it with a subtly dusty tannin structure and bright acidity. The finish is straightforward and easy to drink, offering generous layers of fruit, spice and floral notes."
