2003, Rosenblum Cellars, Alexander Valley Harris Kratka Vineyard Zinfandel

This classic Alexander Valley vineyard is planted on sloping red soil just east of the Russian River.  The vines are planted on St.  George rootstock that has been grafted to a 75 year old clone of Zinfandel.  The wine is a field blend of 80% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah and 10% Carignane.
It has been produced in traditional style as a field blend using a labor intensive hand punch down method.  It shows a bouquet of rich plum and bing cherries with flavors of ripe raspberries, currants, vanilla and spice.
