Criss Cross 2022 Old Vine Zinfandel

92pts Wine Enthusiast

Criss Cross 2022 Old Vine Zinfandel is a bold and fruit-driven red wine that showcases the intensity and character of mature vines. It opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and hints of vanilla and baking spice, followed by a palate rich in jammy dark fruit, peppery undertones, and a touch of toasted oak. The texture is plush and full-bodied, with balanced acidity and smooth tannins that lead to a lingering, slightly smoky finish. This Zinfandel pairs beautifully with barbecue ribs, spicy sausage, grilled portobello mushrooms, and aged cheddar, making it a versatile choice for hearty meals and bold flavors.
