2003 Rosenblum Richard Sauret Vineyards

[Glass_A_Day]

Grabbed the last one my shop had after reading a great write up on it. I think it was about $20. Hugely dissapointing. Enough oak and alcohol on the nose to make one worry about the taste. Even worse on the palet. Nice fruit in the background was hidden. Low 80's if I was to score it.

I have to admit, I am a bit baffled at times by the productions from Rosenblum. Back in January when the Connoisseurs Guide rated Zinfandels there was about 15 Zins from Rosenblum. I think it is great to have all kinds of different varieties, but after sampling this one myself, it might have been better blended with something fruit forward and jammy, yet lacking in intensity.
