Dancing Sonoma ‘Old Vine’ Zinfandel 2024 Review
The mother-daughter team behind Dancing are just getting started. We were introduced to their wines last year and loved them. This year they have gotten even better! This Zinfandel made from 50-plus-year-old vines in Dry Creek Valley has soil and peppery blackberries on the nose, with a hint of anise. The palate is amazingly balanced with fruit and acidity in absolute harmony. It's a Zin where everything is in its right place.
