David Clinton, Mounts Vineyard, Old Vine Zin 2021 (Dry Creek Valley, CA)

Producer Notes: Our seventh vintage from the Mounts Vineyard, the 2019 Old Vine Zinfandel is a wonderful continuation of the trademark style and quality we established with previous vintages of vineyard-designate Zinfandels. Sourced from a 50 year-old vineyard block on the west bench of Dry Creek Valley, this wine highlights the specific characteristics of flavor and balance that define the style of wine we strive for at David Clinton: an approachable Zinfandel with rich red/black-fruit flavors, balanced with crisp acidity and a layered, lingering finish.

The 2019 Mounts Vineyard Zinfandel shows our balanced approach to wine making with even richer fruit and flavor concentration, with vibrant aromas and fresh flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, red cherry, and currant, and a hint of spiciness and black pepper on the finish. A wine that is extremely satisfying to drink on its own, this wine’s well-proportioned and balanced structure also allows it to pair nicely with a broad range of food styles, including pasta dishes, grilled meats and vegetables, barbecue, and Asian cuisine.
