Tasting notes
The 2022 Zinfandel Rossi Ranch is superb. Another wine that belies the heat of the year, the Rossi is so impressive. Silky tannins and lifted aromatics grace this mid-weight offering. Lavender, sage, mint and blue-toned fruit give the 2022 its exquisite, beguiling personality. This is such a great surprise.

The 2022 Zinfandel Rossi Ranch shows a much more complex and savory side. Coming from this exceptional vineyard, farmed organically by Phil Cotturi, it was aged in 16% new French oak barrels, and takes a deeper youthful red ruby hue, bringing forward a more assertive and woodsy profile with aromas of incense, sandalwood, black cherries, and menthol. Leaning toward full-bodied, it has a more broad-shouldered feel, with ripe tannins and a more expansive feel on the palate as well as an earth-noted finish. It deserves cellaring and is going to drink well over the next 10-12 years.
