2014 GAMBA "OLD VINE" ESTATE, ZINFANDEL Winery Notes: "The 2014 vintage produced a powerful and intense wine from our historic vineyard site. A huge, expressive, concentrated wine, the 2014 Gamba Estate Zinfandel offers all the characteristic satisfying and balanced ripeness and big flavor, including soft layers of fig and blackberry, dark cherry, nutmeg and brown sugar, along with baked plum and vanilla, that dance on the palate. A welcoming acidity and well integrated oak behind the black and red fruit, delivers in spades on the mid-palate. Blackberry notes give way to brighter notes of pomegranate and red cherry on the long, expansive finish. This wine delivers an enjoyable elevating curvature of fruit and back notes of leather on the palate. Subtle, toasty and seamlessly integrated oak is present as it approaches the finish. Complex and layered, this glorious wine delivers in flavor and structure, and will stand up well to further aging."
