To craft this rich and spicy red, fruit was sourced mainly from El Dorado as well as additional vineyards in Sierra Foothills, Lake, and Napa counties (5% Petite Sirah was also blended in). With an ABV of 15.9%, it was aged for 16 months in American and French oak; the body weight is apparent, with big and jammy blackberry notes joining sweet tobacco and brandied cherry. A dot of white pepper adds an accent toward the finish.

COMMENTARY: The Rombauer Vineyards Zinfandel is a wine in a unique class. TASTING NOTES: This wine is rich and rounded on the palate. Its fragrant berry aromas and flavors combined with its off-dry finish should pair it well with grilled chicken in a dark chocolate-accented sauce. (Tasted: August 9, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Our classic California Zinfandel is dark purple-ruby, with a bright crimson hue. On the nose, concentrated aromas of blackberry and raspberry meld with clove and spice. Lush flavors of raspberry, blackberry jam, plums, and vanilla flood the palate, followed by touches of white pepper in the background. Plush and round tannins and great length make for a fresh and enticing finish.
