Rombauer California Zinfandel
The wine bursts with bright fruit aromas of cherry and red plum, with notes of vanilla, holiday spices, and lavender all jumping out on the nose. Plum flavors continue to the palate, joined by layers of raspberry jam, mocha, clove, and white pepper. The mid-palate is soft and creamy, framed by fine tannins and ending with a long, lush finish that will leave you wanting another sip.
Grape blend of 98% Zinfandel and 2% Petite Sirah.
This wine contains allergens, sulfites.
The Estate
Inspired by the wine movement of the 1970s in Napa Valley, Koerner and Joan Rombauer entered the wine business in 1976, then launched Rombauer Vineyards in 1980. As stewards of the land, the Rombauers have strived to produce the best wine an appellation, terroir and climate will achieve. As the second generation takes over, they are dedicated to continuing their parents’ vision.
Wine Making
The grapes were carefully destemmed
and optically sorted, a process which
takes photos of every single grape and
removes any not-perfect berry to ensure
only specific and ideal fruit made it into
the wine. A cold soak extracted color and
flavor before primary fermentation began
in tank. The wine was gently basket pressed and then racked to oak barrels
to finish primary fermentation, malolactic
fermentation, and aging for 15 months.
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with beef, lamb, and poultry dishes.
