Winemaker Notes
Black cherry, raspberry coulis, cassis, and licorice with brambly notes are the star components in both the aromatics and flavors of this wine. The 2013 has a sense of finesse that carries this concentrated and layered wine across the palate, creating a cascade of experiences that can only be attributed to the combination of varietals, vineyards, and growing locations.
Blend: 45% Zinfandel, 26% Syrah, 9% Petite Sirah, 8% Grenache, 5% Carignan, 3% Mourvèdre, 2% Alicante Bouschet, 1% Black Muscat, 1% Viognier

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.
