2019 Gamba Vineyards Zinfandel ‘Messana’ Fountain Grove District Sonoma County

The 2019 offering of the Messana Zinfandel shows off a brilliant dark garnet hue. With a swirl, notes of dark plum, brown spices and vanilla emerge in the nose. The wine fans out on the palate with its round and polished texture, bursting in the mouth with an array of stone fruits and berries that fill the senses, finishing with leather and subtle woody tones. The wine is medium to full in body, balanced with a proportionate acidity, lifting the wine and highlighting the youthful freshness of the fruit. Enjoy now in its lovely fruit driven youth, however patience will be rewarded as the wine develops with cellar aging over the next 5-7 years. Thank you for enjoying Gamba wines with family and friends! 100% Indigenous yeast fermented Zinfandel, 100% FGD, 80% American oak/ 20% French oak aged 18 mos., organically grown, hand harvested, double hand-sorted fruit.
