What reviewers say
“A hard blueberry opening, with a full figured and smooth body, it makes me think of the redhead from Mad Men wearing a violet corset. Finish is not overly pronounced and is lacking tannins but is full of flavor. The blueberry note of fruit lingers longer than anything that's dry on the finish. The balance is exceptional, it bottoms out on the complexity scale, but I really like it, there's not another wine that does what this one does. At $11 a bottle, I'll be buying as much as I can.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Red wine is a unique blend of rich concentrations and aromas of blackberry, vanilla and toasted oak. Soft tannins lead to full sensation in the mouthfeel and the palate. The wine is created with great complexity of fruit and a long, lingering finish.
From Lodi in the United States, OZV Old Vine Red Blend is a red. It is made from Zinfandel.
728 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 762 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where OZV Old Vine Red Blend lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 728.
