A fantastic value in Old Vines Napa Valley Zin! The Girard 2013 Old Vines Zinfandel Napa Valley is a blend of 76% Zinfandel and 24% Petite Sirah. Sourcecd from mountain vineyards that provide a rich flavor extraction, fruit-forward palate and wonderful layers of complexity from multiple soil types. One of our favorite Napa Zins under $30! 90 Points Wine Spectator: "Loaded with ripe, jammy fruit, this has just enough structure to stay light-footed, with black cherry, toasty oak and spice aromas. Drink now through 2019."

One of several excellent Zins I have recently tasted. Terrific balance, dynamic spiciness and impressive balance, especially in light of the 15% alcohol (which is so integrated as to not be noticeable).

2013 vintage. Nice nose with rich red fruits and fresh oak. Forward wine, jammy with descent complexity. Hides the high alcohol well. Crowd pleaser.

Strong purple grape (shocking, I know), pretty dry, hints of cinnamon, dates.

Jammy. it's wine. Nothing To be mad about,nothing to write home about neither. Cheers. Slight tabacci on the nose. Peppery for a zin. Long finish. My initial notes fleet me.
