Old Vine

2006 California Zinfandel

Bota Box Old Vine Zinfandel from California is a delightful expression of the varietal, showcasing its vibrant red color and rich character. This wine offers a medium body that delights the palate without overwhelming it. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the bold fruit notes present in the glass. With prominent fruit intensity, flavors of luscious blackberry and juicy raspberry burst forth, accompanied by subtle spice nuances that add depth. The tannins are smooth and refined, contributing to a well-structured wine that pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods. This Zinfandel is on the drier side, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a wine that is both flavorful and elegantly crafted.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
