Purchase Rosenblum Cellars Rockpile Road Vineyard Zinfandel

This awesome Zinfandel is always highly lauded in the wine community! We just got the 2006 vintage and can't wait to try it. For a hit, read the reviews of the 2005...

"The top wine in this portfolio is the 2005 Zinfandel Rockpile Road Vineyard, a blend of 93% Zinfandel and 7% Petite Sirah. An opaque dark ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of crushed rocks, spring flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, and kirsch. This complex, dense, full-bodied Zin possesses good underlying minerality as well as beautifully integrated acidity and tannin. It is a superb offering that should drink nicely for 7-8 years.

The ever reliable Kent Rosenblum continues to turn out a portfolio of delicious Zinfandels. Along with Napa’s Biale family and a short list of other North Coast producers, Rosenblum Cellars is as good as it gets when it comes to Zinfandel." - 92 points, Robert Parker
