Romililly 2012 Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Monte Rosso Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Romililly / Sonoma Valley

There’s a stewy rustiness to this wine on the entry, an evocative recall of the old country, when grandfather made wine in his basement. From a high-elevation vineyard site, it takes time to open. Once it does, the full-bodied expression of juicy blackberry and leather combine to nice effect.
