RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...bright acids that give the wine the tension and energy... Primary sweet red and purplish berry fruit notes are pushed forward in this vibrant, beautifully delineated pure Zinfandel...all the elements are impeccably balanced... Put simply: what a wine!

94James Suckling

Very fresh and juicy, fruit-focused zinfandel with a raspberry and fresh red-plum core of juicy and quite elegant fruit. An exuberant style with vitality and energy, as well as length and depth.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...charming, beautifully pure wine... Offering medium-bodied notes of blueberries, mulberries, crushed flowers, and spice, it has plenty of sweet fruit, beautiful balance, and the purity of fruit that’s the hallmark of this great vintage.

92The Wine Advocate

...classic aromas of blackberry, cherry pit, warm spices and licorice. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with velvety tannins, an ample core of succulent fruit and lovely balance. Generous and structurally open-knit...

90Wine Spectator

Offers an appealing briary structure, accented by bright cherry, smoky dill and pepper flavors that linger on the crisp finish.

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.
