Breaking Bread Winery Rosé of Zinfandel 2021 Review
This is one of the most unique rosé wines we have ever been sent. When a pink wine made from the Zinfandel grape is made, I am sure the first thing that comes to mind is “white Zinfandel.” This is not that. It’s not even in the same galaxy as that. This is a passion project by Kokomo Winery’s winemaker Eric Miller. He has made a “natural”-leaning rosé that just knocked us out of the park. It is slightly oxidative on the nose yet still shows a nice pop of fruit. The acidity is just lovely, racing through the wine giving it verve. On the palate, the richness of the Zinfandel grape comes through with a refreshing yet almost chewy or jammy mouthfeel. This is the pink Zin we’ve been looking for.
