GAMBA
2016 ZINFANDEL
ESTATE, OLD VINE
Everybody loves being the guest that brings the best wine to the party… All you need is a couple 15-packs of Gamba and you can be that person, every time. Always a crowd favorite and proving to be top contenders on California’s Zinfandel scene, Gus Gamba’s old vine Zinfandels are quickly gaining world-wide acclaim. After Robert Parker’s latest visit to the winery, he alerted readers, “… Gamba’s name is going to have to be included with some of the stars of Sonoma, such as Hartford Court, Carlisle, Bedrock and even the superstar Turley over in Napa.
Gamba always crafts stunningly rich, wonderfully articulate Zinfandel that stems from ancient vines planted in 1900 and yields just 1.5 tons per acre of strikingly intense, concentrated, pristinely focused fruit. Unsurprisingly, many of my Zin loving clients have proclaimed that Gamba Zin is The BEST wine in the world. With another steep decline in production, I strongly recommend securing a case, before it’s too late.

Winemaker notes: “The 2016 Gamba Estate Old Vine Zinfandel has elegant, violet, dried herb and inviting cherry aromas. The mouthfeel is savory and full, complete with subtle notes of sweet red cherry, tobacco, brown butter, and a delicious streak of baked dark fruits, making for a complex wine that’s enjoyable from start to finish. Ripe raspberry, cherry, and a delicious spicy undercurrent work together seamlessly to provide complexity and bold waves of persistent flavor.”

From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: “…This is another killer wine, as it is always one of the top wines in his extensive and impressive portfolio. The alcohol is 15.3%, but that’s a minor component to this big, juicy, succulent, in-your-face, dramatic Zinfandel that boasts raspberry, black cherry, strawberry, licorice, tar, earth and roasted Provençal herbs. ….” 90-93 Points

Have you ever wondered what makes Old Vine wines unique? There are two defining factors that when combined, become even more powerful. Like humans, as vines age their circulation becomes weaker which results in smaller berries and more focused and concentrated flavors. Older vines also have deeper root systems, which increases the complexity in the wine. Perfectly expressing what Old Vines are about, Tonti’s Zinfandel is the delicious result of two ancient vineyards planted in the early 1900’s.
