So what do we have? A multi-vintage field blend… meaning the wine is created using more than one vintage - hence the lot number. Field blend means their are multiple grape varieties growing amongst each other in the vineyard. They are harvested and fermented together.
So we can’t say for certain what the exact proportions are, but we know the wine includes Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Carignan, Grenache and Barbera! Given its kaleidoscope of flavors, this wine pairs well with a wide range of foods. But at this price? Pizza is the ticket for me! Home-made or takeout… this is the perfect quaff!

"Indeed the 75th iteration of this wine, the NV OVR Old Vine Red Lot 75 has been made since the 1980s, for most of those years by founder Chris Bilbro. Son Scot now continues the tradition, blending a mix of primarily Zinfandel, Syrah, and Petite Sirah with smaller amounts of Barbera, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot with the goal of being delicious. It certainly is, offering one of the greatest values in California wine from a family producer, supple, reliable, and approachable, with full-bodied fruitiness that’s balanced and has lasting tannin structure to keep it interesting for another 10 years."

“The NV Old Vine Red Lot 75 has a medium ruby-purple color is scented of red and black plums, raspberry candy, powdered sugar, prosciutto and floral potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is rounded and bright with understated, earth-laced fruit and a softly spicy finish. That herbal edge and juicy acidity make this wonderfully easy to drink!”
