Winemaker Notes
The 2012 Landy Sweetwater Springs Zinfandel is dark and rich with an abundance of black cherry, blackberries, cedar, soil, and petrichor. This wine has layers of tannins and a delicious Herbs de Provence that will keep it singing for years!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Zinfandel Landy Sweetwater Springs Vineyard boasts a lofty 15.5% alcohol, but, as with all of these Zinfandels, there is not a bit of heat or burn in the aromatics or flavors, disproving once again the myth of alcohol. The wine offers up brambleberry, raspberry and cherry notes. It does not display the completeness, density or follow-through on the palate of Cohn’s other cuvées, but it is an outstanding, full-bodied Zinfandel to drink over the next 5-6 years.

Parker
When Jeff Cohn was the winemaker at Rosenblum Cellars, annually he crafted more than 70 different wines. Today, at his Oakland-based warehouse winery, the irrepressible vintner now limits himself to a mere 21 bottlings, focusing on Rhône varietals. Cohn's longtime relationships with some of California's top growers and vineyards enable him to source some of the state’s finest fruit, including Rockpile in Sonoma County, Fess Parker in Santa Barbara County and Stagecoach in Napa.
All JC Cellars wines are fermented in open top fermenting vessels that range in size from a half ton to eight tons, where each bin is hand punched down five times per day. This time-consuming procedure allows maximum exposure of skins to juice, intensifying the flavor of the fruit while handling it as gently as possible.
