Vintages Wine Panel: Trained as a veterinarian, Kent Rosenblum was an amateur winemaker who followed his dream to found and build Rosenblum Cellars into one of California’s benchmark Zinfandel producers. Three decades later, he is still CEO and director of winemaking at Rosenblum. This rich, fruit-driven Zin from his appellation series has layers of blackberry, raspberry and currant fruit as well as hints of spice and vanilla. My note: Pure purple goodness. A full-bodied red with purple plum flavors.

Rosenblum Appellation Series Zinfandel food pairings: blackened salmon, back ribs.

Mac rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

I have not been as impressed with this Zin from Rosenblum as I am with most of their others -- I found this particular appellation and year too bland, not enough of the rich fruit-forward jamminess that typifies the best Rosenblum Zins -- instead I found it with a bit of an acid bite and not enough flavorfulness to like. I would not buy this one again (though I love most Rosenblum reds).

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
