Rosenblum Cellars Eagle Point Mendocino County Zinfandel – 2005 – 8.9 - James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

I am always fascinated by a varietal born and raised is not always expected.  Zinfandel in Mendocino is unusual.  But the fact that it is from Mendocino promises a unique experience.  This wine is well structured; the wine is 89% Zinfandel and 11% Petite Sirah which gives plenty of smoke, Pioppini mushroom, underbrush and cinnamon.

 

¡Salud!
