RATINGS

96Jeb Dunnuck

...flat-out gorgeous. More pure, elegant, and seamless than the 2015, yet not as concentrated or bombastic, it has sensational notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, smoked earth, cedar plank, and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ultra-fine, nuanced, and elegant, it's one of the standouts in this lineup.

95The Wine Advocate

...deep garnet-purple in color with a profound nose of baked black plums, blueberry compote and raspberry jam with touches of Indian spices, dusty soil and garrigue plus wafts of tobacco and truffles. Powerful, wonderfully concentrated and with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and great freshness, it finishes with epic length and depth.

92Vinous / IWC

...sourced from the oldest vines on the property. Dark, muscular and also very tannic, the 1910 Block packs a serious punch...

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Russian River Valley

Russian River Valley AVA is named for the river that meanders from Mendocino County in the north until it finally runs into the Pacific Ocean north of San Francisco. The AVA is cool thanks to its proximity to the northern California coast and the river, and grape growers must learn to deal with regular fog. Nevertheless in recent decades the AVA has become one of the best in the state, meaning that its wines often earn excellent reviews and have considerable cachet. The AVA status was awarded in 1983 and today the appellation has 15,000 vineyard acres. Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape though Pinot Noir has also been very successful in recent decades. Russian River Valley Pinot Noir are known for being rich, lush and filled with concentrated fruit and berry flavors. Russian River Pinot Noirs are today considered some of the best domestic Pinot Noirs.

TYPE

Red Wine, Zinfandel

Zinfandel is a black-skinned grape, but 85% of the wine produced is made into a rosy “White Zinfandel.” Red Zin is far more complex and bold, while still being light-bodied. It grows in popularity as winemakers continue to experiment with new styles and blends.
