Harris Kratka Vineyard

2009 Alexander Valley Zinfandel

The Rosenblum Cellars Harris Kratka Vineyard Zinfandel from the 2009 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Alexander Valley, showcasing the region's unique terroir. With its deep red color, this full-bodied wine exhibits a high level of acidity that brightens the palate and ensures a refreshing experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, highlighting luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by hints of spice and dark chocolate. The tannins are well-structured yet approachable, adding firmness without overpowering the fruit. This Zinfandel is also crafted in a dry style, making it an excellent choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own.

Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
