Rosenblum Cellars Del Barba Vineyard Zinfandel Contra Costa County 2019
See the Full BevX Featured Review
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry with supporting notes of dried herbs, slate, blueberry, and lavender. The palate echoes the nose, delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of boysenberry, bramble, rosemary, and black pepper. The finish is long and lingering with firm tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a meaty texture. $40 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Spirits Reviews
GlenDronach Original 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering aromas of dried fruits, Sherry, and butterscotch with supporting notes of vanilla, treacle, and roasted nuts. The palate is in full agreement with the nose, delivering a Sherry-driven core with supporting flavors of toffee, sultanas, baking spices, and toasted walnuts. The finish is long and lingering. Medium to full-bodied and favorably balanced with an opulent texture. $65.99 – 4.5 Stars
