Zinfandel Port

2005 California Zinfandel

The Rotta Zinfandel Port from California's celebrated winegrowing region is an exquisite expression of the Zinfandel varietal, showcasing its deep, ruby-red color that invites exploration. This full-bodied red wine delights the palate with its rich, lush flavors, combining notes of dark cherry and ripe blackberry, enhanced by hints of spice and chocolate. Its high acidity offers a refreshing balance, creating a vibrant mouthfeel that beckons for food pairings or a quiet evening of indulgence. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports its lavish fruit intensity. As an off-dry wine, the Rotta Zinfandel Port maintains a sweetness that complements its complex character, making it a delightful choice for both seasoned wine lovers and those new to the world of ports.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
