The Zinfandel vines grown at Monte Rosso Vineyard are a sight to behold, massive and tightly gnarled, they are still productive despite an advanced age of 125 years or more. The wine produced from these grapes is substantial without being heavy, yielding heady notes of damson plum, blackberries, clayey soil and a whiff of allspice. Richly layered on the palate, with a firm acid spine and striking minerally vein that is typical of Monte Rosso. Lots of power with a well-placed dash of rusticity. Sample

Always good! Baked ripe fruit, cedar chips, spice and heat. Will be saving some others to see how it ages.
