Upon pouring, Cigar Zin Old Vine Zinfandel reveals a deep, alluring ruby color, inviting the senses to explore its complex bouquet of aromas. The nose is greeted with an intoxicating blend of dark fruits, including blackberry, plum and ripe cherries, complemented by notes of spice, vanilla and a hint of tobacco — a nod to the "Cigar" in its name. The palate experiences a full-bodied richness, with a luxurious texture and layers of dark berry flavors, accented by spice, chocolate and a subtle smokiness, culminating in a smooth, lingering finish. The wine's robust structure and opulent flavor profile make it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as smoked meats, barbecue, rich stews and strong cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its bold character.
