WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2023
This is quite an approachable Zinfandel with all the classic Zin notes—blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, chocolate, fennel, violets—along with resolved tannins and a vivacious acidity. A drink-me-now wine for sure and one can happily do so with a variety of dishes any day of the week. (Stacy Briscoe)

From the Producer

This tantalizing Zinfandel leaps from the glass with concentrated aromas of wild blueberry, blackberry, plum,
vanilla and freshly cracked white pepper. The luxurious fruit and spice layers are echoed on the palate, where they
glide across velvety tannins to a robust finish with just a hint of lingering sweetness.

Where It's From

Region / California

View more wines from California

When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

Country / United States

View more wines from United States

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

The 2021 Zinfandel is another beautiful wine from this team. Red plums, sandalwood, spice, and hints of iron give way to a medium-bodied, balanced, concentrated Zinfandel that has ripe tannins and a layered, balanced, already hard-to-resist style. (Jeb Dunnuck)

A broad-shouldered red, with a potent structure but expressive blackberry, savory dill and white pepper flavors that speed toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet. Drink now through 2033. 22,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)

Leading off the 2021 barrel samples, the, 2021 Red Blend Scouts Honor checks in as 76% Zinfandel, 14% Charbono, and the rest Petite Sirah and Syrah, with 69% of the blend coming from Napa Valley and the rest from Sonoma. Blue fruits, candied violets, wild strawberries, and cigar notes define this medium to full-bodied, sweetly fruited, forward, Zinfandel bomb of a wine. It’s perfect for enjoying over the coming 4-6 years or so. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Red plums, red currants, and lavender followed by dried herbs, wild bush and roasted coffee beans with toasty notes. Medium-bodied, refreshing acidity, juicy silky tannins. Lively and energetic yet balanced and refined. Aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)

A brisk, fresh style, with cherry pit and blood orange notes carried by fresh acidity. Reveals a savory note that ripples nicely through the finish, along with an encore of fruit. Drink now through 2026. 25,720 cases made. (James Molesworth)

This fun Sauv Blanc brings a smile to the lips, along with flavors of lemon, lime, cut grass, wet stone, citrus blossom, capsicum, lime leaf and lemongrass. The palate offers just a twinge of spritz and a bitter edge, adding textural interest as well. (Stacy Briscoe)

With fine-grained tannins and elevated acidity, this Pinot Noir is a friendly daily drinker. Notes of red and black cherry, boysenberry, red currant, damp forest floor, violets and roses are complemented by subtle oak tones of anise, nutmeg and toast. (Stacy Briscoe)

So concentrated and deep, this massively structured wine performs above its price range. Saturated with blackberries, black currants, espresso and dark chocolate flavors, it is firmly wrapped in a thick layer of tannin. Delicious now, it will become more complex and drinkable with time. Best from 2028–2040. (Jim Gordon)

Cassis, brambles and violets followed by graphite, cigar box and tobacco leaves with blanched nuts and cedar. Full-bodied with crisp acidity and firm yet finely grained tannins. Wonderful concentration and focus. Precisely framed wine with depth and length. Aged for 14 months in 40% new French oak. A blend of 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% merlot. Try after 2027.

This wine is fresh, bright with aromas of yellow apple, pear, honeysuckle and vanilla cream on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of grilled orange slices, baked pear and green apple, with wildflower honey wafting through the mineral, dry finish. Pair with spicy calamari.
