Louis Martini, Zinfandel Monte Rosso Gnarly Vine other_regions There is an interesting mouthfeel

There is an interesting mouthfeel to the middle weight flavors that are at once caressing but quite punchy while the sneaky long finish almost disappears and then returns as it sits on the palate

focused and very long finish

with sweet fruit on the palate yet balanced

and the flavor knitting is tight and carefully detailed

this offers readers a way to revel in the delightful precision of Rhys's single-vineyard wines without the cellaring required for the Santa Cruz Mountains bottlings

Louis Martini, Zinfandel Monte Rosso Gnarly Vine other_regions There is an interesting mouthfeelMade of 100% Zinfandel aged 15 months in new French (48%) and American (19%) oak, the medium garnet purple colored 2016 Gnarly Vine Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard opens with incredibly spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cumin seed and Sichuan pepper with a core of raspberry pie, dusty soil, tree bark and underbrush. Full bodied, rich and concentrated, it has a wonderfully plush texture and wicked backbone of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. 1,720
