Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2032, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Feb 2020

The 2016 Zinfandel is made up of 77% Zinfandel, 15% Syrah and 8% Carignan aged 18 months in 28% new French oak. Medium to deep ruby-purple, it offers pretty aromas of cinnamon toast, dried peaches, crushed blueberries, blackberries, dried cherries and loads of dried flower aromas. Medium to full-bodied, it’s silky in the mouth with peachy flavors, an elegant frame and just enough freshness on the long, floral finish. 235 cases were made.

The 2016 Zinfandel (there's 15% Syrah and 8% Carignan) boasts a medium ruby/purple color to go with classic notes of black and blue fruits, spice box, caramelized cherries, and herbes de Provence-like traces. This ripe, sexy, incredibly polished Zinfandel is complex and nuanced, yet it’s a pleasure-driven beauty that will put a smile on your face any time over the coming decade.
