Perfect cork.

Fantastic ripe plum notes to the nose and palate. I don't know the exact blending percentages of the grapes, but assume CS is dominant since it's listed first on the back label. But, the Merlot is most prominent at this age and it's singing a beautiful song tonight after 3H in the decanter. Last bottle from release purchase in April 2006, winery direct. — 24 days ago

Haven’t seen a Rosenbaum in a long time. A few decades ago, their single vineyard Zins were a go-to for me

And nice to see a post from you! It’s been a while!

@Tom Casagrande Work & Personal life has been incredibly busy the past few months, posting has slipped down the priority list unfortunately. I've still got some of their single vineyard Zinfandel's, with similar age to this post, hiding away in the cellar.

A little off-dry. Not as perfect with dinner as I intended, but that’s on me. — a month ago

So many prior notes, I’m not going to go into detail here, but in my mind, there’s a paradox here... Katz (the winemaker) has stripped away the usual embellishments, and produced a minimal, laser-focused SB. The major notes of exotic fruits and acidity ring as clear as a bell. Brilliant. — 4 years ago
