Four Vines 2004 Old Vine Cuvee
(over 2 years ago)Four Vines 2004 Old Vine Cuvee
(over 2 years ago)A vibrant, fruity, almost sweet Zinfandel. This vibrance makes up for a lack of complexity and depth, although it is still a very fun wine. Definitely a fruit bomb. Still a bargain for the price.

(about 1 year ago)This is a tasty wine, but it is not for the environmentally conscientious: for every bottle of Four Vines Zin you drink, there is an acre of oak trees that goes missing somewhere in France. But if you're into choppin' wood - look no further. Not that you'd have to look very far in most wine stores, but it is a bit unusual for the oak monster to rear his head so fiercely in a Zin. This is the sort of lumberjack experience that you'd usually have to seek out in a Chardonnay or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
However, if you give this wine some serious time in the open air - I mean, leave the fan running and go on vacation - those Zinfandel fruit flavors will emerge from hiding and a better balance will emerge. Early after opening, this wine is an 84/85 - after serious decanting it pegs in at a much more respectable 86+.

(about 1 year ago)This is a very good wine for the price. It has a very elegant taste but lacking complexity and the finish goes no longer than about 10 seconds. I would however, serve this in a heartbeat at my next cookout.
