About Rombauer 2018 Zinfandel, California
This wine blends lots from select vineyards in top growing regions: El Dorado (42%), Amador County (32%), Lake County (17%) Napa (6%) and Lodi (3%). The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. 93% Zinfandel and 7% Petite Sirah, a cold soak extracted color and flavor before primary fermentation began in tank. The wine was gently basket-pressed, then racked to barrels to finish primary fermentation, malolactic fermentation. Aged 16 months in American (10% new) and French Oak.
It shows dark purple-ruby, with a bright crimson hue. On the nose, concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry and boysenberry meld with black tea, vanilla and spice. Lush flavors of fig, blackberry jam, licorice and vanilla flood the palate, followed by touches of dark chocolate and white pepper in the background. Subtle and round tannins and great length make for a fresh and enticing finish.
