A friend gave me a gift of a sample of the Red Zinfandel variety from Rosedale Farms in East Weatogue. While it lacked the full-bodied flavor of a typical Cabernet, or the smoothness of reds such as Syrah and Brunello's seen here, it was a bit sweeter, and generally speaking a great gift for anyone who explores local wines. Good deal for a first year wine. I don't know the age of the vines they brought in last year for zin. Their website might have more. I also enjoyed the Three Sisters, reisling style sweet white.
