Romililly Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard 2012, Sonoma County, CA, $45(S) – Rating 91
A very balanced style of Zinfandel. On the nose, notes of black fruit and plum with hints of espresso and campfire smoke. Smooth on the palate with balanced acidity and soft tannins. Plenty of flavor highlighted by black cherry, blackberry, ripe cherry and brown spice. Smokey cherry on the finish. Buy This Wine


Think cold winter’s day, a blanket and a fireplace. This is the perfect big wine to share. Be patient however as this Petite Sirah take at least an hour to open to full potential. A robust nose of smokey cherry, blueberry and spice. A palate full of black cherry, blackberry, ripe raspberry, oaky vanilla, dark chocolate and brown spice. As one should expect from a Petite, it offers a full mouth-feel with big tannins and bright acidity. Dark cherry and peppery spice on the finish.
