Born to be Wild

Decades after it was made, Easy Rider is still the quintessential biker movie. With hard-ridin’ music and easy-goin’ Peter Fonda this flick catches us at the beginning, moves smoothly through the middle, finishes big and has lasted for decades. I’m here to tell you that Four Vines Biker Zinfandel Paso Robles is an easy rider, just like the movie.

Made in 2008, this blockbuster wine has a full nose of blackberries and spice with a touch of plums that moves to a huge rich mouthful of zinny spice and dark fruit thanks to a kick-start from a few Mourvedre grapes. Laced by just enough acidity to keep it Dennis-Hopper edgy, Biker Zin, has a finish that purrs like a Harley. This wine rocks like it was born to be wild.
