The ever reliable Kent Rosenblum
continues to turn out a portfolio of delicious Zinfandels. Along with
Napa’s Biale family and a short list of other North Coast producers,
Rosenblum Cellars is as good as it gets when it comes to Zinfandel. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 174 Dec 2007 Winery Notes: This wine has a heritage and pedigree second to none in the

the St. Peter’s clone of fruit. Being from Lake County, it’s a perfect wine to enjoy by the lake while you throw a steak on the barbie! This is a California wine
