2017 GAMBA "STARR ROAD RANCH" ZINFANDEL Winery Notes: "The 2017 Gamba Starr Road Old Vine Zinfandel is in a word, opulent...The aroma offers exquisite Luxardo cherries, cocoa, raspberries and subtle cedar.... Dark black fruits, candied nectarine, freshly baked pie crust and an ethereal note of sweet oak fill the palate, surrounded by a backdrop of lifting and zesty acidity to frame the wine. The texture is silky, seamless and balanced, with soft leathery, yet polished tannins. Focused and uncompromising, this artistic, and hedonistic expression of Old Vine Zinfandel will leave you satisfied and reaching for the next sip..." From Jeb Dunnuck: "Slightly more restrained, the 2017 Zinfandel Starr Road Ranch Old Vine is similarly colored and offers a sweet plum, blueberries, sandalwood, and spice-driven bouquet. This carries to a medium-bodied, elegant, silky Zinfandel that has loads of character, as well as length. Aged 16 months in 40% new American oak (the balance was in used French and American oak), it’s going to keep nicely for upwards of a decade." 91 Points
