The mountaintop Monte Rosso Vineyard is a legend in wine country. Winemakers fight over who gets the fruit. Very old vines. Very high up. Red iron soil. You see the name on rare and exquisite wines. Winemaker Eric Cinnamon loves the place, and that love comes through in this wine.
Not shy at 14.9 % alcohol, but balanced, detailed and structured under the robust array of flavors. Let it evolve in the glass. Aromas of fresh berries, spice, briar and earth. Rancho Zabaco calls it “refined intensity.” We couldn’t agree more.
"A superb effort, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Zinfandel Monte Rosso possesses more of everything. From vines planted in 1911, it exhibits lots of truffle, damp earth, incense, spicy, briery black currant and raspberry fruit notes, full-bodied power, a silky richness, and lots of personality." - 91 points, Robert Parker, Jr.; Issue #187, February 2010
