Wine Review: This ruby colored Zinfandel from Rodney Strong opens blueberry and cinnamon bouquet with hints of oak and black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and juicy. The flavor profile is red plum and cherry-cola blend with notes of mulberry. I also detected hints of vanilla and oak. Its flavors linger nicely on the finish. This Zin is friendly, versatile and food friendly. I would pair it with a tangy pulled pork sandwich. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Fresh, bright berry fruit form our heritage Russian River vineyard, combined with the ripe, peppery jam from our Alexander Valley and Dry Creek vineyards, make for a wonderful diversity of flavor, showcasing the best that Zinfandel can offer. This wine boasts notes of blackberry, plum and boysenberry with a touch of red fruit jam and creamy vanilla. Enjoy this Zinfandel now with spiced short ribs, pulled pork sandwiches or a barbeque chicken pizza.
