Winemaker Notes:
"Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel pays homage to our growers who believed in Zinfandel and held these vineyards for decades, and in some cases, over a century. Our fruit is sourced from heritage vineyards throughout our region to produce a beautiful, elegant red wine that reflects the authenticity of the traditional Sierra Foothills Zinfandel. A well-balanced, layered, and seamless wine offering fresh blackberry and raspberry flavors wrapped in a bracing texture of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity."

"A raspberry aroma and earthy blackberry and black pepper flavors give this full-bodied, concentrated wine plenty to savor. Made from vines 50 years and older, it shows moderate tannins while a broad mouthfeel enhances its expression." -JG, 12/1/22
