The 2024 Kirkland Signature Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel begins with aromas of black cherry, bramble, licorice, leather, spice, vanilla and a touch of vegetal note.

Tasting the medium-bodied wine reveals a super smooth and easy to drink Zin with perhaps a touch of residual sugar. It’s a nice example of a Sonoma Zin with brambly flavors of tart and juicy black cherry, blackberry, blueberry and cranberry. You’ll also find licorice and a bit of leathery spice and vanilla in this flavorful wine.

It ends with ripe fruit, leather and spice that linger for a good amount of time on the mouth-watering finish. It might even be slightly better on day 2. If you’re having a BBQ, this is a good choice.

Overall we didn’t think this was quite as good as the 2021 vintage but it certainly has lots of crowd pleasing characteristics and still offers good value for the low price. It’s nice to see it back in stores.
