Louis M. Martini 1997 Gnarly Vine Monte Rosso Vyd Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Gnarly Vine Monte Rosso Vyd
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Louis M. Martini / Sonoma Valley

From a famous vineyard, this is an interesting, even eccentric Zin. The aromas are claret-like, with currant and blackberry and a strong gamy note, like bacon. The fruit is very ripe, even overripe, and the tannins and acidity are ample. Fans of big, old-style Zins will love it.
