| 1996 Rosenblum Zinfandel Brandlin Ranch Vineyard Special Selection Mt. Veeder, Napa, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 14.3% Price at time of purchase: $36.00 () Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zinfandel Made from 91 year-old vines on the slopes of Mt. Veeder in Napa, this "25th anniversary special selection" wine really is special. Opaque black/purple color. Initially closed and a bit unyielding, it quickly opened up into a large-framed classic with sweet blackberry and dark currant fruit with a serious dose of semisweet chocolate and a touch of cigar. This is an old vine wine that does its sources proud. It's also one of a whole series of Rosenblum wines we've tasted in the past two years or so that we've found extremely appealing. - WB Team 2001-09-07 [Back] |
