2021 Gamba ‘Starr Road’ Zinfandel

Crafted from small blocks on the Starr Road Ranch, the lots are fermented separately and masterfully blended. Our final blend is thought- fully assembled offering bright, rich aromatics and bold fruit, layered with hints of oak seasoning and always deftly balanced. Our wines are largely fermented with naturally occurring yeasts. The wines are aged 16-18 months in French and American oak cooperage, and clarified by racking prior to bottling.
The 2021 Starr Road Ranch Old Vine Zinfandel showcases aromas of raspberry preserves, cedar and maple in the nose. Upon entry the wine is youthful but satisfying, with supple flavors of wild berries, currant and plum that are complemented by savory allspice. Briary black raspberry and black tea notes give way to a bold yet supple, leathery tannin and a powerful, lingering finish. Pair with short ribs, braised pork belly, or your favorite savory dish.
