Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

(66% zinfandel, 17% carignan and 17% petite sirah) Ruby-red. Roasted fruit notes complicated by hints of gingerbread, lead pencil and loam on the nose; slight suggestion of old wood. Sweeter and denser than the Mazzoni bottling, with an impression of lower acidity. Fuller in the mouth but perhaps not quite as fresh. But thick and rich, with very good texture and material.
