Rombauer Vineyards
El Dorado Zinfandel
Full flavor and smell. Tastes like a high quality wine from Italy.

1 person found it helpfulDec 7th, 2014Sleek and soft, fresh cherry and raspberry on the nose. Has a sweet element on the mid palate-relaxed tannins with balanced acidity. Lush mouthfeel throughout, same raspberries show as well as a dash of spice. One dimensional finish, of black fruit. Pair nicely with grilled brisket burgers.

Oct 5th, 2014Gigantic fruit bomb with rich caramel finish. This Rombauer is loaded with baked blackberries, plums dusted in pepper that doesn’t beat around the bush to get your attention. Tried against the Caymus Zinfandel (non blind). Though the 2013 Caymus has a 4 years advantage we couldn’t help but prefer it over the 2017 Rombauer. Not to say the El Dorado isn’t good, it definitely is and way more accessible than tying to find the limited produced Caymus.

Dec 1st, 2019Full body. Heavy fruit. Nice herb component. A little sweet. Mid palette jam. Had with homemade wood fire pizza...nice pairing. Highly recommend unless you hate sweet.
