The 2019 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel begins with aromas of black cherry, bramble, a bit of coffee, spice and vanilla.
Tasting the medium-bodied wine reveals a super smooth and easy to drink Zin with the nuanced complexity that only comes from older vines. It's a great example of a Sonoma Zin with very brambly flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry, blueberry and cranberry. You'll also find a bit of leathery spice and vanilla in this very flavorful and nicely balanced wine.
It ends with more ripe fruit, leather, spice and a bit of coffee that lingers for a good amount of time on the mouth-watering finish. If you're having a BBQ, this is your wine!
We've been recommending this wine for a number of years now and have been quite impressed with the consistency over the last 7-8 vintages. At only $10 this is always a good pick.
