Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2024-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023

The 2021 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is bright and nicely lifted. Red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange and sweet spice show lovely vibrancy. The Pagani fruit profile is there, but the textural resonance and mid-palate typical of the best wines from this site are missing. I would have liked to see more depth here. Some very slight vegetal notes lurk beneath. Perhaps bottling will take care of that. The 2021 is 85% Zinfandel and 15% Alicante Bouschet.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2023

A youthful hue of electric ruby with purple highlights, the 2021 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is highly aromatic and jumps out of the glass with wild strawberries, pink peppercorn, blueberry, and minty herbs. Medium to full-bodied, with a velvety texture, ripe tannins, and supple richness in its notes of violets, cherry, and cedar, it’s a well-balanced and potent style to drink 2025-2035.
