2018 GAMBA “MESSANA VINEYARD” ZINFANDEL

2018 GAMBA "MESSANA VINEYARD" ZINFANDEL

Winery Notes: “The 2018 Gamba Messana Zinfandel exhibits a brilliant, deep ruby color with purple hues. The aroma offers dark Amerena cherry compote, brown spices and hints of sandlewood. The wine is medium to full in body, with a mouth-filling fruit profile, offering rich layers of dark berry fruits, spiced fruit cake, and notes of mocha. This bold wine offers a pleasant, soft leathery texture and lifting acidity on the palate. The wine feels polished and retains a creaminess, as the generous fruit and spicy notes fan over the palate. This is a unique Zinfandel that will complement an array of hearty family recipes. Everything from sausage and spiced apple stuffed pork chops to eggplant parmesan, to grilled beef ribs slathered in savory bbq sauce. The finish is round, intense, and lengthy. While enjoyable now, this special limited release wine will continue to evolve gracefully in the cellar for years to come."
