Criss Cross Old Vine Zinfandel 2020
- Description
Criss Cross is a joint venture between LangeTwins Winery and Vino del Sol. The winemakers are Karen Birmingham and David Akiyoshi. The Criss Cross wines are made from our most premium vineyards in a fruit-forward style that over-delivers for the price. Boot prints, not tire tracks.
We criss cross our vineyards to find the very best fruit for this wine. This jammy Zinfandel has lush flavors of raspberries, ripe plum, and vanilla. 100% sustainably-farmed estate vineyards.
