Rosenblum Rockpile Zinfandel 2001

Deep red. Spicy, oak-char, grilled meat aromas. Exotic hint of banana too. Low-toned and saucy.

Quite sweet impression in the mouth - suggests some RS, but I doubt there is much (if any). Doesn't show much in the way of flavor. Has an old-viney fruit creaminess, but then alcohol/acid synergy makes the wine spiky in the mid-palate. Interestingly, this is listed at 14.9% alc. Moderate for this producer.
