Rodney Strong Estate Zinfandel – 2012

This Rodney Strong Knotty Vines Zin was better than expected. Although light on the nose, it was medium-full bodied, soft tannins and smooth.

The best part for me was the finish, lingering with raspberry, cherry and spice. For the $25 and under price range, we really enjoyed it.

According to their website, the 2012 vintage was harvested under ideal conditions. Our drinking conditions weren’t so ideal… cooped up in a little mountain town in Northern Arizona, with zero restaurant options.

We paired it with a homemade pizza and this easy drinking Zin saved the evening. Cheers to everyone!

I write about wine as well as the unique stories behind each label. I'm a R.D.H. with an applied science degree in dental hygiene, and have been geeking out about wine for over 20 years. Before obtaining a Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certification, I learned about wine just by trying different styles and regions. I've also worked with a local distributor in wine sales. Wine brings people together and makes the world a smaller, friendlier place... Cheers!
