2012 Rancho San Miguel Winery Old Vine Zinfandel “Starr Road (BLOCK 5) Vineyard” tasting notes:

The 2012 vintage release of Rancho San Miguel Winery Old Vine Zinfandel Starr Road (BLOCK 5) Vineyard Zinfandel raises the bar for this classic, bold and fruit forward style wine from this legendary Russian River valley old vine vineyard, planted in 1920. This exclusive old vine vineyard is home to some of Sonoma County’s top Zinfandel wines.

The 2012 vintage Zinfandel shows a brilliant garnet red stone as it reflects in the glass, with a deep core, bright raspberry, soft, smooth, dark cherry, and a bit of Italian plum. As this wine sits in the glass it will open up to show mocha notes, a bit of fig and vanilla and a slight mild spice. The over all mouth feel is soft and silky. The balance on this wine is not to be missed. Drink now through 2021.
