Zinfandel "Bambino" > 2006

Notes: The grapes for "Bambino" are from a 10-acre block we planted on Old Hill in 1998. This young vine field-blend is patterned after the ancient vine field-blend for which Old Hill is known. The wine is a blend of at least a dozen grape varieties - principally Zinfandel, but also Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet and Grenache to name a few - all fermented together to create this Zinfandel blend.
Tasting Notes: Our Bambino is deep purple in color with intense blackberry aromas and lots of “Old Hill” spice, including nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. The flavors are intense too, with blackberries, cherries, and vanilla spice. The tannins are big but ripe and mouth watering on the finish.. A friend recently described it as follows; “It’s like Wow! And then it is all fun in your mouth!”
