The 2013 'El Dorado' Zinfandel from Rombauer is a fantastic bottling from this estate. The El Dorado Vineyard is perched 1,650 feet above sea level in the Sierra Foothills and is known for its sandy soils that grow some great Zinfandel. This impressive new release wine begins with aromatics reminiscent of prune, red cherry, dill, sage and pipe tobacco. There are flavors of blackberry jam, roasted figs, and prune with gobs of milk chocolate. Gorgeous range here with lovely texture and complexity. This is delicious wine that is best enjoyed on its own. (Best 2016-2025) - May, 2016 (OB)
