Rated vintages

    This wine has full aromas and flavors of rich, ripe strawberries and blackberries. The texture is both smooth and slightly gripping at the same time, with a medium to full body and a dry, lingering finish lingers.

  • 201290 pts

    A smooth, supple version of Zinfandel, this is full-bodied and rich but not overly showy or oaky. Blended from 90% Zinfandel plus Petite Sirah and Malbec, it has enticing wild blackberry aromas and flavors, touches of cinnamon and cedar and a lingering finish.

  • 201086 pts

    A distinct late-harvest character pervades this full-bodied Zin, which has very ripe aromas of raisins and prunes, and bold, dried-fruit flavors, too. The texture is smooth and the wine is soft and not very tannic.

  • 200788 pts

    Lusty and ripe, this big, exuberant Zinfandel brims with black currant, red cherry, plum, chocolate, anise and cedar flavors, leading to a long, spicy finish. It's an easy wine to drink, but also shows some real complexity.

  • 200686 pts

    With a dash of Petite Sirah, this wine, made from century-old vineyards, is extraordinarily rich. It explodes with blackberry, cherry, raspberry, chocolate, anise, vanilla fudge, pepper and clove flavors. The wine is a little on the sweet side, but not too much.
