Rombauer Vineyards
California Zinfandel



87% of fruit sourced from Sierra Foothills, remainder of fruit from Napa and Lake Counties; about half the fruit is from the family's own vineyards, aged in oak (10% new). Dark Ruby, purple edges with aromas of berry fruits, tangy herb, pepper and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and ripe cherry with black pepper spice, vanilla and earthy sweet herbs. Soft chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, dusty spice and earthy oak. Nice!

Blend of mostly Zinfandel with a nice splash of Petite Sirah, deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with notes of licorice, herbs and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and tobacco notes. Nice!

Pleasant and brambly. Also nicely drier than I expected from this winery, variety and appellation.

Unabashedly fruity. Boysenberry jam. Baking spice. It’s a big juicy enjoyable wine.

Dec 22nd, 2020In my mind, this is the way a Zinfandel should taste. Fruit bomb, booze bomb but well rounded. This wine is excellent, pairs perfectly with Filet Mignon with a peppercorn seasoning. Smooth and silky but with HEAVY fruit. I love it!
