Clos des Amis Old Vine Zinfandel Single Vineyard
This California Zin is not like the others. A different take, it has the expected plums and fruits, but is not a fruit bomb like a lot of other zinfandel wines; rather it is balanced and complex. As said on the back label, ‘This Zin is so alive, we call it a Zing!Fandel.’
Made from 30 year old vines in the Upper Ojai Valley in California, the single vineyard these grapes come from is known as ‘Block F’. Part of this wine’s peculiarity comes from not only the native yeast fermentation, but also that it was made with carbonic maceration.
An unoaked red wine, this california zinfandel is a great way to taste something new and different!
