Rutherglen Estates Renaissance Zinfandel 2006

By Gary Walsh

Renaisance Zinfandel 2005This has been in the old box for nearly a year now but time is on its side. Yes it is.

Fresh smelling wine with raspberry, spice, a bit of licorice, some bacon bits and (attractive) creamy coconut ice cream oak. On the palate fresh and clean with high acidity and fine grained tannins. It has flavours of raspberry and blackberry, spice and creamy oak. The acidity is a bit edgy but it beds down with a bit of air. Good pippy raspberry and spice finish. A good wine with plenty of personality.
