2002 Rosenblum "Oakley Vineyards" Zinfandel

[Drew]

77% Zinfandel
16% Petite Sirah
6.5% Carignane and .5% Other

Now we're talking. Could be posted in Best Buys also. Deeply colored. Explosive nose of blackberry, dark cherry and spice. Deep flavors of spicy plum, blackberry, cherry, raspberry and a hint of chocolate and toasty oak (very little and accentuates nicely me thinks). Nice finish and some med. grained tannins. I think this wine will benifit from age for 5 years or so. 13.8%Alc/vol. $15. Really nice stuff.
