kevin seligman and rosenblum

pity poor rosenblum in the kansas city market. it has been with three different distributors that I know of...having a home with one of the largest it will have some focus again. they produce over 60 bottlings with all their tiers. Their winery is located in Alameda, just a ferry ride away from San Fran.

the ones we tried today.

Vintners Cuvee XXX zinfandel... year in year out a crowd pleaser. dark purple, with coffee notes coming at me.. and briary..unlike the Krug though this had some nice fruit attached.

Vintners Cuvee Syrah 2005 a touch watery, a little hot at 15%, nice juice but was hoping for a little more intensity.

Richard Sauret Zinfandel... one of the many single vineyard things they do...very ripe fruit, almost port like, dark berry flavors and nice acidic finish.
