2020 Gamba ‘MCM’ Russian River Valley Zinfandel

WSI94+ The epic 2020 MCM Gamba Estate Old Vine Zinfandel is a brilliant garnet color. The nose offers an array of stone fruits, cedar, and savory fall spices. Me- dium to full bodied, the MCM is classic Gamba on the palate. Showing a solid structure and refined texture, the 2020 MCM offers dark berries, a touch of nectarine, Washington cherry compote, and tangy rhubarb, accented with deli- cious cocoa and brown spices, with just a subtle hint of oak. The wine is satisfying, layered, and enjoyably bouyant, showcas- ing a proportionate balance of mouth-watering acidity. This is a serious and thought-provoking wine from beginning to end. A great wine to enjoy now, or will reward the patient enophile in the cellar with 5-10 years additional aging.
