Rodney Strong Zinfandel Knotty Vines 2016

Northern Sonoma, Sonoma County, California, United StatesKnotty Vines is sourced from vineyards in Alexander Valley and Dry Creek with 30+ years of age, though some plantings date to 1904. It has an attractive brambly nose, and doesn't come across as excessively ripe or jammy even at 15% abv. Some subtle anise and oak spice adds to the wine's complexity, though this is really a simple, honest zinfandel at its heart, and fairly priced at that.Tasted: 25 March 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
