Rosenblum 2011 Carla’s Vineyard Zinfandel (Contra Costa County)

Country: US / Carla’s Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Rosenblum / Contra Costa County

A classic of the genre, this combines a deep color with luscious fruit character and spicy accents on a velvety texture. Firm tannins lend an appetizing grip, while the fresh ripe blackberry, clove and cedar flavors seem to melt on the tongue and linger on the finish. It shows great complexity and balance in a traditional dry style.
