Inglenook
Edizione Pennino Rutherford Zinfandel
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
A Rutherford Zinfandel that eschews the high alcohol and high sugar style predominant in California, this wine is balanced with medium body and smooth blueberry tones. In a blind taste test I would have guessed a Merlot/Sangiovese blend.

A classy Zin- with more of a Meritage-like structure and oak with its Zin fruit. Good ripeness for the vintage, and good balance.

I like this zin. Not as jammy as others and seems smoother.

Jan 4th, 2015Nose present full dark fruit and lots of American oak. Herbs, leaves, and earth. On the palate the petite Syrah is prevalent on the palate with juicy fruits. Great spice integrated well with soft tannins, acidic edges making it food friendly, and a velvety finish. Could use a few years in the bottle
