Ipsa scientia potestas est

I am a lover of jammy red wines, up until about three years ago, I had no idea what a good zin actually tasted like. My father-in-law is a wife buff and introduced me to a whole different class of wine, including the 2004 Rombauer Zinfandel.

This Zin is the jammiest, tastiest, and one of thebest wines I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend it enough. According to Rombauer the 2005 is just as delicious:

Rombauer Vineyards’ 2005 Zinfandel represents the very essence of California Zinfandel. Full bodied, fruit forward, and juicy, this wine boasts bright aromas of black cherry and plum, with a light spicy character all its own. Layers of cranberries, plums, and dark berries flow together for a rich, full flavor with a sensational mouth feel. A dark berry fruit finish lingers on the palate, complementing the rich flavors of this beautiful wine.

Find some, and buy. The wine is a bit hard to find, but if you can find a bottle under about $24, buy as much as you can.
