Monte Rosso Sonoma Valley Zinfandel

Very nice Zin, big but mellow.

One day past opening. Wish I could have tried that yesterday. It is one of the prettiest vineyards I have ever walked through. That's important.

What a great expression of Zinfandel, world class vineyard and winemaking to match. Rich and bold while still balanced. Great restraint with oak, love these wines!

Great now. At peak.

Even better day 2...

Can't go wrong with Monte Rosso fruit. Spicy, well integrated tannins

W/ pork tenderloin. Delicious.

Contrary to some reports, this is very much alive and still somewhat primary. Shows a touch of heat on the palate but delicious overall.
