RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...core of stone-fruit tart with savory notions of iron, gravel dust and meaty hints, milk chocolate, black cherry compote and brambleberry preserves with touches of nutmeg and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied...elegant in the mouth with intense savory layers, a firm frame of grainy (lightly chalky) tannins and seamless acidity, finishing long and spicy.

92Wine Enthusiast

Deeply aromatic...offers hints of bouillon, meat and grilled mushroom, earthy and profuse...palate delves deeper into rich dark chocolate and baking spice, complemented by vanilla oak and a hint of cola. Robust tannins give it additional power and density within balanced acidity and length.

PRODUCER

Mauritson

Mauritson is in Healdsburg, California. It is owned and operated by Mauritson family, who have been farming in the area since the mid-19th century. In the mid 1990s Clay Mauritson returned from college and began working in Napa Valley wineries. He released his own debut vintage in 1998. The family owns 270 acres of vineyards and have long supplied other wine producers in the area. Today the estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Rose, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

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.
