Hartford Family Winery Old Vine Zinfandel 2024 Review
Sourced from choice sites like Fanucchi-Wood Road and Highwire Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, this old vine Zin sees both French and American oak. It has earthy notes of black tea and soil on the nose, leading into a soft, juicy palate. A core of peppery fruit breaks through the oak and pronounces the lithe tannins.
