RATINGS

92Wine Enthusiast

Rich, layered and brimming in dense plum, baked fig and blueberry, this is a spicy, robust and mineral-driven red wine. With softened tannins and integrated oak, it allows the fruit to speak loudest, with well-seasoned accents and plenty of length on the finish.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...pretty, classy Zinfandel nose of ripe plums and black cherries intermixed with toasted spices, scorched earth, and licorice...medium body, ripe tannins, and good acidity, with plenty of length on the finish.

90The Wine Advocate

...aromas of cherry jam, powdered sugar, candied peaches, boysenberry preserves and notes of mint leaves, earth and spices. The medium-bodied palate offers great fruit layers with a pleasantly chewy frame and good freshness to lift the 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.
