Girard Old Vine Zinfandel 2022 Review
Though Napa Valley is best known for its Cabernet now, Girard Winery knows how important Zin's presence is to the region's history. And this Napa Zinfandel comes from the vines still in the ground after half a century or more. This bottling balances mineral-driven acidity, tart raspberry fruit, and the classically rich, soulful depth of Zinfandel.
