January 30, 2015 - ZAP Flights! 2015 presented with support from The Historic Vineyard Society (Four Seasons Hotel, San Francisco): Poured at the Zap Flights presentation by the Historic Vineyard Society including discussion with winemaker John Kane.
Color is medium ruby. Nose of red fruit and iron. Not overtly oaky but gives the impression that this was freshly pulled from a barrel. Palate is savory, more black pepper and roasted herbs. Finish is a little hot but this could dissipate with time. 14.5% ABV.
John Kane says this is the most claret-like of the Rosenblum Zins, and I would agree. None of the jamminess that turned me off of them in the early 2000's. This is a good effort and #2/5 of the flight for me.1 person found this helpful Comment
