Girard 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Old Vine
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Girard / Napa Valley

So classically structured and elegant, it might almost be a Bordeaux red variety instead of Zinfandel, except for the black pepper. Brings Napa-esque control and tannins to the blackberries, currants and chocolate, and should develop for up to 6 years.
