2006 XYZin 100 year

XYZin wines explore the relationship of vine age to taste profile. XYZin 100 comes from Zinfandel vines that were at least 100 years of age at the time of harvest. At XYZin we believe that the history of a vineyard is as much a part of the terroir as are climate, soil, clones and the age of its vines. XYZin Vine Age Series wines offer a tabletop exploration of California’s unique Zinfandel heritage.

Loads of sun-ripened blackberry fruit aromas and flavors mingle with raspberry jam and more savory notes of baked crusty bread. Approachably refined tannins form a mouth-filling framework for the appealing, understated waves of chocolate and peppery spice that lingers well after the wine is swallowed. The rustic heritage of the grape calls for foods prepared from hearty, honest ingredients. Enjoy this wine best over the next 5 to 6 years.

This wine is best enjoyed with garden-fresh tomato bruschetta, sheep’s milk cheese such as Brebiou sliced on rosemary potato bread, or dishes flavored with fire-roasted red peppers.
