More information on wine critics and ratings

Tasting Note: Often characterized by spice, this wine is no exception. On the nose, juniper, black pepper and spicy nutmeg awaken the senses. Garnets glitter in the glass, while flavors of cranberries and raspberries glisten on the palate. Lively ruby red fruits catch your fancy, all leading to a full and round finish after aging in 2-year old American oak for 14 months. Hints of marionberry pie and baking spices complete the wine, with a long and lingering finish.

Food Matching: Would partner venison well along with other more gamey dishes.

Vinification: Harvested from 40-80 year old vines and matured in American oak for 14 months.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2020)
This California Zin does not disappoint. An elevated acidity gives the wine energy, uplifting the fresh fruit notes of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry. Well-integrated oak means a subtle dusting of nutmeg, star anise and clove. Tannins are a resolved, chalky texture, adding structural integrity and never distracting.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 88 Points (2016)
A zesty and fruit-forward red, with cherry, bay leaf and spice flavors. Drink now through 2023.
