Still young with raspberry jam that isn't too sweet on its own but can come across that way when paired with lighter dishes. This wine is at its best with lighter BBQ'd foods that have a little sweet molasses flavor of their own. It also does better with a slight chill around 60f as this is the most delicate of Brown Estate's red wines. The nose is all raspberry with no noticeable alcohol. Flavor is just a little jammy with a light mouthfeel with no hard edges and the finish is quite long with a bit of sour plum lingering on the back end. For people who believe Zinfandels are rustic and boozy this wine is capable of turning their heads around. The Rosemary's Block Zinfandel is delicate and delicious and at 3 years in the bottle is hitting its stride.

Nicely aged. Notes of strawberry jam and cherry. Very smooth on the finish. A bit sweet but very enjoyable.

Strawberry jam -- it's a little sweet on initial taste. Medium acidity and medium-low tannins.
