Planchon Vineyard

2009 Contra Costa County Zinfandel

The Rosenblum Cellars Planchon Vineyard Zinfandel from 2009 is an exquisite red wine that beautifully represents the lush terroir of Contra Costa County. It showcases a full-bodied character, delivering a rich and satisfying palate. The acidity is vibrant yet balanced, lending an invigorating quality to the wine that enhances its overall appeal. With prominent fruit intensity, this Zinfandel bursts with flavors of ripe blackberries and cherries, inviting you to explore its depth. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that promises excellent aging potential. This wine is bone dry, allowing the fruit and earthiness to shine without cloying sweetness, making it a wonderful companion to a variety of hearty dishes.

Region:


Central Coast
Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
