title: Howell Mountain Vineyards 2010 Old Vine Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)
description: As big as you expect a Howell Mountain Zin to be, offering rich, deep blackberry, currant, chocolate, licorice, bacon and cedar flavors that are sweet and dry at the same time. It's not just powerful in flavor, it's wonderful in structure, with refined tannins and balancing acidity. A minor criticism is some heat from alcohol, but that's the nature of ripe Zinfandel.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Old Vine
