Episode 80: ’05 Rosenblum Cellars Late Harvest Zinfandel
July 18th, 2010
Late harvest Zinfandels are dessert wines, sweet and fun. And boy oh boy is this one sweet. It smells kinda like “tree sap, with a dark berry thing on the end of it.” Grapedonk’s first reaction was, “Wow! They neglected to tell you it’s Zinfandel made from concentrate—without the water added back in.”
Comments from the peanut gallery included. “Smells like a hot toaster—it’s like they made jelly out of it, then made it into wine.” It’s good, in really small amounts. As Grapedonk said, “You can sugar cereal with this stuff.”
We paid $18.99.

Susan gives her tasting notes on Henry of Pelham’s 2007 Riesling Icewine out of Niagara, Ontario. With a nose of pear, peach and honey, on the palate there’s a luscious mouthfeel with pears, baked peach and honey all come through with a cleansing acidity for less than $50.

Now we take the 6 tons of fruit picked on October 13 and crush it for fermentation on October 14. This is going to make very good wine! 25 Brix, and good acid and sugar!
