2019 Gamba Vineyards Zinfandel ‘MCM’ Estate Russian River Valley

The exciting 2019 MCM Gamba Estate Old Vine Zinfandel is a brilliant wine, with bright garnet hues shining in the glass. The aroma offers lush raspberry, rhubarb pie and savory dried herbs. Medium to full in body, the wine explodes with fresh berries, stone fruit and red cherry that are accented with delicious brown spices and an essence of toasty oak. The texture is slightly leath- ery, yet polished and refined. The wine is focused, compelling, and exquisitely layered, with mouth-watering tannins; a serious and seamless flavor experience from beginning to end. Lifting acidity and mild toasted oak round out the coda of its pleasant, lin- gering finish. A great wine to enjoy in its youth, or candidate to lay down in the cellar if you have the will power! 100% Indigenous yeast fermented Old Vine Zinfandel, 100% Russian River Valley, CELLAR NOTES: 50% American oak/ 50% French oak aged 18 mos., from dry farmed, organically grown, hand harvested, double hand-sorted fruit.
