title: River Road 2012 Boschetti Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
description: This is a different beast from most other Zins, shy and intriguing in tight, dusty, high-toned raspberry and cassis, the spicy components leaning toward exotic cardamom and nutmeg. From a vineyard originally planted in 1925, holding on for dear life in the Russian River Valley's sea of Pinot Noir, it's a rare and worthy find for the table.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Boschetti Vineyard Old Vine
