Saddleback 2013 Old Vines Zinfandel (Calistoga)

Country: US / Old Vines
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Saddleback / Calistoga

New American oak cradled this wine, which includes 12% Petite Sirah. A strong aroma of root beer or Dr. Pepper wraps itself around smoky tar and toast, with a grippyness on the leathery finish that falls a touch flat.
