Description
Red Wine by Gamba from Sonoma County, California. The 2017 Gamba Starr Road Old Vine Zinfandel is in a word, opulent. With a wonderful hue of dark onyx at the center of the bowl of the glass, moving to garnet at its edges, the brilliant, deep colors draw you in for a closer look. The aroma offers exquisite Luxardo cherries, cocoa, raspberries and subtle cedar. The wine is full in body, yet proportional in every way; mouth filling; and succulent. Dark black fruits, candied nectarine, freshly baked pie crust and an ethereal note of sweet oak fill the palate, surrounded by a backdrop of lifting and zesty acidity to frame the wine. The texture is silky, seamless and balanced, with soft leathery, yet polished tannins. Focused and uncompromising, this artistic and hedonistic expression of Old Vine Zinfandel will leave you satisfied and reaching for the next sip. The finish is long and intense, with effusive fruit and a pleasant minerality note woven into its lifting acidity and kissed with a subtle infusion of toasty oak.
