Description
94 points Robert Parker: “Another profound effort (one of the finest Zins of the vintage)…A Zinfandel with an incredible 16.6% alcohol. However, the wine is so well balanced that no heat is noticable. Relatively elegant with medium to full body, loads of black currant, raspberry, and cherry fruit interwoven with crushed rock and floral notes, this well-delineated, super-concentrated, fresh, vibrant, racy Zinfandel possesses a Pinot Noir-like delicacy. Consume it over the next decade.” (02/05) From the famed Monte Rosso vineyard, which looks westward over the entire Sonoma Valley. This site, one of the world’s best for Zinfandel, was named by Louis M. Martini after the reddish soil found here. The very gnarled, very old vines growing here produce spectacular results no matter whose hand is behind the finished wine. In the extremely capable hands of the Robert Biale team, you can expect great complexity and an elegance not commonly found with this varietal. Something special for the Zinfandel connoisseur.
