Lately, I have been transitioning to trying more Zinfandel wines as I was floored by the Clockspring Zinfandel as well as the Lapis Luna Romanza (funny thing: I was out in a restaurant, and I ordered a glass of Zin and a glass of Port; the guy immediately brings me White Zinfandel). It's a great red, and it's truly unfortunate that most novice wine drinkers don't really get introduced to it.

Anyway, this is my second wine from Rosenblum Cellars, and while it's not the most expensive wine that they have, it is a lovely thing to behold. The only fruit flavor that I detect in this wine is dark plums; there is no discernible flavor of raspberry or strawberry to me, and not even any currant (okay, there might be a hint of Black currant).

The very smooth tannins in it, though somewhat noticeable -- and by this I mean slightly -- almost give it a leaning towards a nice strong spice like nutmeg or even the faintest hint of cocoa, which is an interesting direction.

While this wine hasn't totally wowed me, I changed my rating of it from an 8 to a 9 based on the reality that it did have an interesting twist to it. (Next I will be reviewing one of the Cabs).
