Armida Winery Zinfandel Maple Vineyards Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County 2021

Single vineyard zin from century+ old vines in the heart of Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley…it’s its own love language. And at way, WAY under $20 – I’m swooning!

Armida Winery on the Last Bottle block! Never heard of it? No matter, as of 2022, they’ve changed the brand to “Overshine” (hence our unfathomable 69.34% OFF)! We’re helping them move into their new brand, and you all get an absolutely KILLER deal on utterly rocking old vine zin. Wins all around! Here’s what you need to know – and then hurry along and grab six, ‘cause these beauties are sure to FLY! Sam Bilbro, 4th generation winemaker, Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 Tastemaker, and creator of the culty, somm-fave brand IDLEWILD is the wizard behind the curtain here – crafting some straight-up Cali-magic from gnarly, head-trained, dry-farmed zinfandel vines that go all the way back to 1910! One hundred and eleven years later – these vines yielded some stellar fruit – and another crackin’ success born of the great 2021 vintage!

Big…simply HUGE fruit flavors of jammy plums, and inky blackberries, with boatloads of spice and savory overtones – from clove to black pepper, to woodsy cedar and roasted fennel, all with this warm cinnamon, brown sugar note tying it all together. Round, luscious – you bet – but a fine-boned minerality and a hyper-fresh acidity keep this well short of cloying. Perfectly balanced, powerfully structured zinfandel is what you’re getting here – at a price that is absolutely brain-addling! Only $16!?! That’s a steal, folks – and over $35 LESS than what you’d pay elsewhere! Not as much as we’d like…so, WHILE IT LASTS!!!
