2003 Rosenblum Monte Rosso

[winoweenie]

What a kick-patootie bottle of zin. Had it a lunch today with sliced beef, carmelized onions, and fresh greens, preceeded by a plate of fresh sliced tomatoes, crumbled Stilton, Balsimic , and VOO. This bottle was absolutety stunning with every bite of each plate but added to the enjoyment of the food.I was stunned after finishing it that the alc was a whopping 16.6%!!!! Found no heat at all so the tremendous fruit and balance must negate this whopping alc. This has been a source of some of the greatest wine in my drinking experience. Tankke Louis for planting this mnarvelous vineyard (even berfore I wuz borned). Martini has made some memorable from this Sonoma masterpiece. 93/90 39 by the box. 16.6% alc. WW
