Combine that with the low yield of our over 120-year-old Zinfandel vines, and you can see why we were excited by the intensity of the fruit.  After HAND-PICKING into small bins for the most delicate transportation of the fruit, the grapes were lightly crushed into the tank for fermentation. Fermented on the skins to dryness, it was then pressed and placed in our top 10% “food friendly” French and American oak barrels, of which 15% was new wood. Aging in this way, we are able to maintain and uplift all of the fruit and flavors to their fullest.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003eThis wine in the glass has a beautiful burgundy color. The initial whiff of this seductive wine produces aromas of spiced blackberry, plum, dried cherry and baking spices. On the palate, you swirl this rich dark wine around in your mouth and the initial sensation is that of luscious, juicy, freshly-picked ripe blackberries and freshly baked blackberry pie, lightly spiced. The second sip explodes with sweet ripe black cherries, black licorice, black plums and black pepper with moderate tannins and juicy acidity. This rich, mouth filling Old Vine Zinfandel will pair with ALL foods, from that gourmet burger on the grill, to a nut-crusted seared rare ahi. Our favorite is a tomato sauce pasta with Italian sausage sautéed in green \u0026amp; red  banana peppers, onion and fresh garlic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalolactic Fermentation: 100%\u003cbr\u003epH: 3.83 \u003cbr\u003eTotal Acidity: .64g\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: .68 \u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 14.8%  \u003cbr\u003eBottled: January 18, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy now or cellar thru 2030 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage\u003cbr\u003e2022\u003cbr\u003eVarietal\u003cbr\u003eZinfandel\u003cbr\u003eAppellation\u003cbr\u003eLodi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peirano Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975824347360,"sku":"106718","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/peirano-estate-the-heritage-collection-old-vine-zinfandel_1.jpg?v=1663888224","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/peirano-estate-the-heritage-collection-old-vine-zinfandel-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
