The 2020 Rombauer Vineyards California Zinfandel is rich, ripe, and rounded. This wine offers aromas and flavors of bold blackberries and an accent of oak. Enjoy it with grilled baby back ribs.

Winemaker Notes

The wine bursts with bright fruit aromas of cherry and red plum, with notes of vanilla, holiday spices, and lavender all jumping out on the nose. Plum flavors continue to the palate, joined by layers of raspberry jam, mocha, clove, and white pepper. The mid-palate is soft and creamy, framed by fine tannins and ending with a long, lush finish that will leave you wanting another sip.

Choose either sweet or spicy sausage to top this pizza as either option will pair well with this Zinfandel. This is a meal for sharing with friends or tastily toasting the end of a busy week.

Blend: 98% Zinfandel, 2% Petite Sirah
