The 2022 Matthiasson "Armor Plate Vineyard" Old Vine Zinfandel is crafted in the traditional "California Claret" style, emphasizing vibrancy and freshness. Sourced from historic old vines in Sonoma Valley, this wine presents subtle fruit notes of strawberry, raspberry, plum, and quince, complemented by an earthy minerality. On the nose, pure cranberry and brambly red fruit aromas are accented by a wild floral hint. The palate is juicy and light-bodied, with minimal oak influence, leading to a bright and fresh finish.
