RATINGS

92-95Robert M. Parker Jr.

...perfumed, aromatic wine with a glorious display of cherry fruit...element of sur-maturite and an unprecedented alcohol level... fabulous purity, copious amounts of glycerin, and layers of kirsch/cherry fruit...

92Stephen Tanzer

..Supersweet but not cooked; thick and spicy. Impressively long and ripe on the back end, but retains good freshness...

91Wine Spectator

Smooth, ripe and jammy, with layers of plum, cherry, wild berry and blackberry. Finishes with firm, drying tannins.

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.
