Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005
Bright medium ruby. Vibrant, almost pinot-like aromas of black raspberry and violet. A juicy, lively, intense fruit bomb of a zinfandel, with terrific fresh berry flavors unsullied by oak. Finishes firmly tannic but not at all dry, with very good grip. This reminds me of why I loved California zinfandel a decade ago. Not at all out of place at the dinner table.
