RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...scented of violet, lilac, warm peaches and yellow apricot with wet clay, dust, red and black cherries, bramble fruit and notions of dried herbs and earth melted right into all that fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it has wonderful earth-tinged fruits in the mouth with chalky, integrated tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and layered.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...bouquet of spice blue fruits, sweet kirsch, cedar, and tobacco leaf. It's a juicy, forward, delicious effort that has notable purity, as well as balance.

90Wine Spectator

Focused and well-crafted, with briary raspberry, sweet anise and smoky pepper flavors.

90Vinous / IWC

...bold and forward... Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, spice and chocolate all race out of the glass.

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.
