Louis Martini, Zinfandel Monte Rosso Gnarly Vine other_regions The 2009 Barbaresco is absolutely

The 2009 Barbaresco is absolutely remarkable for the way it carersses the palate with endless layers of sweet red fruit

There is better freshness on the palate along with excellent richness and concentration to the powerful and mouth coating middle weight plus flavors that deliver fine length on the very firm finale

There is an interesting mouthfeel to the middle weight flavors that are at once caressing but quite punchy while the sneaky long finish almost disappears and then returns as it sits on the palate

and the flavor knitting is tight and carefully detailed

It's a blend of Tempranillo with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot

Full bodied, rich and concentrated, it has a wonderfully plush texture and wicked backbone of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. 1,720
