Gallo of Sonoma Reserve Zinfandel 2004
Zinfandel
from Sonoma County, California
winemaker's notes:
Varietal Content: 92% Zinfandel, 9.3% Petite Sirah
There is a lot of Russian River Valley fruit in the blend, which means fruit-driven Zinfandel. The Russian River is distinctive due to its cool maritime climate which gives the wine vibrant fruit aromas and flavors. This Sonoma County Zinfandel displays classic aromas and flavors of jammy raspberry, blackberry, dark plum and black cherry. These layers of rich fruit are balanced by hints of warm vanilla and spice resulting in a wine with depth and structure.
