Rodney Strong Zinfandel Knotty Vines 2004

Sonoma County, California, United StatesRodney Strong has about 15 acres of old, gnarled zinfandel vines, planted in 1904, that go into the blend of fruit that mixes the appellations of Dry Creek, Russian River and Alexander Valleys. The '04 is showing brambleberry-like fruit nuances on the nose and palate. On the palate more cranberry / brambleberry, blueberry fruit flavours mixed with soft if obvious charred American oak notes. Fresh and lively with just a touch of grippy tannins in the finish easily slaked by some grilled beef.Tasted: 24 May 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
