Supple, generous, opulent.
While the newly turned Rust Wine Co. (formerly Rustico Farm & Cellars owned by the colourful, Bruce Fuller) is located on Golden Mile Drive and is one of the handful of wineries allowed to use the designation Golden Mile Bench sub-GI, this wine comes from that bench.
Housed in a heft bottle with a wax sealed cork, this Zinfandel doles out blueberry and blackberries laced with cloves, chocolate and espresso. The palate echoes the nose; baking spices, vanilla liqueur and generous berry flavours dominate. It is supple and slick with nice balance and sweet tannins; it is also concentrated and persistent.
