Rombauer Zinfandel 2019

Rombauer has been devoted to one simple goal since its founding in 1980: making the best wine possible. This 2019 Zinfandel delivers exactly what fans expect from California Zinfandel—bold fruit, generous texture, and plenty of character, all wrapped up in a wine that is ready to enjoy now.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep purple-ruby color with a bright crimson edge. The nose is packed with concentrated aromas of dried cherries, warm vanilla, mocha, and mulling spices, giving it a rich and inviting profile. The palate is plush and fruit-driven, with ripe plum and raspberry jam taking center stage, followed by subtle hints of dark chocolate in the background. Fine, rounded tannins lend length and shape to the wine’s fresh, enticing finish. Rombauer makes wines intended to be approachable upon release, and this Zinfandel is no exception, though it can also hold nicely for a few years.

Production
Rombauer’s winemaking philosophy focuses on coaxing maximum quality and expression from California fruit, and that clearly comes through in this Zinfandel. While detailed vineyard specifics are not provided, the wine reflects the warm Californian terroir that suits Zinfandel so well, producing ripe, concentrated berries with ample natural richness. The vinification is geared toward preserving lush fruit character, supple tannins, and immediate drinkability.

Food & Serving
This is a great match for barbecue, grilled ribs, braised short ribs, pepperoni pizza, or roasted vegetables with smoky spices. It also works well with aged cheddar or other bold, savory cheeses. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 16-18°C, and decanting for 30-45 minutes can help open up the aromatics and soften the wine even further.

Producer
Founded in 1980, Rombauer Vineyards has become one of California’s most recognized producers for generously styled, fruit-forward wines. The estate has earned a loyal following for its commitment to quality and its consistently approachable, polished bottles. Rombauer’s reputation is built on crafting wines that are expressive, enjoyable, and true to their varietal character.
