A bouquet of ripe black currant and blackberry with creamy ripe cherry essences is followed by flavors of currant and vanilla with hints of briary spice and cracked black pepper. It will age gracefully for 6-8 years, but is extremely enjoyable now, especially when paired with duck or a hearty polenta. The grapes for this wine come from the highest Zinfandel vineyard in the Paso Robles appellation, located west of Highway 101 near the town of San Miguel. The vineyard is head pruned and dry farmed which leads to low production and intense fruit flavors. The use of special strains of yeast and a unique cold-soak maceration process during fermentation has helped add softness and complexity. It has been aged on both French and American oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e90 points Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMy favorite Rosenblum Zin of the vintage. Delicious for its rich blackberry, raspberry, chocolate and toffee flavors, with easy, sweet but complex tannins, and completely dry. The fruit flatters the palate like a fur coat on a bare thigh. Irresistibly good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Rosenblum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942068748512,"sku":"131829","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/rosenblum_richard_saret.jpg?v=1776807378","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/rosenblum-zinfandel-paso-robles-richard-sauret-vineyard-2002-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
