"Spicy and easy to drink...This will be enjoyed with almost any dish at the table and, as always, overdelivers for the price"
—Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate October 2023
ABOUT US
Affectionately known as “OVR,” Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. A groundbreaking combination of varietals and multiple vintages first produced in 1982, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades. Predominantly comprised of fresh, young Zinfandel, OVR gets its backbone from Petite Sirah with about three years of age in neutral barrel, and its savory component from Syrah with about two years of age in neutral barrel. Old Vine Red is made with integrity and combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure. Punching WAY above it’s weight class, a wine that never dissapoints.
PRESS
"Medium ruby, it offers intense red cherry, blood orange and apricot perfume with accents of rooibos tea leaves, red licorice, saline, lilac and loads of spicy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet with soft tannins, bursts of refreshing acidity and detailed amaro accents on the long finish. This is so easy to drink!"

Tastes like the gutsy field blends popularized by Italian immigrants back in the day, with potent wild berry, licorice and smoky cracked pepper flavors that finish with broad-shouldered tannins. Zinfandel.
