We had two bottles and they both were great. Nice fruit forward and smooth finish. We will be buying what we can on this limited vintage. (2277 views) | | | Tasted by redbrix on 9/30/2013 & rated 88 points: Brilliant ruby wine with blackberry, pepper and cherry nose. Smooth deep fruit with good body (2599 views) | | | Tasted by alohaboys on 6/6/2013 & rated 84 points: Downhill. Hints of oxidation. (2800 views) | | | Tasted by vinorsk on 1/25/2012 & rated 84 points: Drank in Janaury 2012; mutued and no zing. It still has nice ripe fruits but none of the zin umph. Serves me right for letting a zin go six years. When new, it was 95 pt wine. (3938 views) | | | Tasted by gjv115 on 4/9/2011 & rated 87 points: it's enjoyable. A simple wine, typical Rosenblum. (4216 views) | | | Tasted by Harneloot on 8/28/2010 & rated 90 points: A tad hot in the first few glasses. Boysenberry with some decent acidity & tannins. (2667 views) | | | Tasted by cmr on 5/4/2008 & rated 90 points: Better then the 2005. Standard Rosenblum style, rich, intense fruit bordering on being a little to sweet for my palate but reeled back in for the most part over time. (3089 views) |

Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma ValleySonoma County, California, is one of the most important winegrowing regions in the whole of the United States. Vines have been planted here since the 1850s and, apart from the inevitable hiatus brought about by Prohibition, the county's relationship with wine has been prolific and unbroken.
Viticulturally speaking, Sonoma County is divided into three distinct sections: Sonoma Valley, Northern Sonoma and Sonoma Coast. Each of these has its own AVA title and encompasses several sub-AVAs within its boundaries. |
