Score 97/100 · Drink 2020, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2020

Damp earth, leafy herbs, cedar, plum, and spice-laced blue fruits all emerge from the 2018 Zinfandel Mancini Ranch, another incredible Zinfandel from this estate. More cigar and tobacco notes emerge with time in the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with good acidity and a great, great finish. The texture here is just fabulous, and I'd be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming decade or more. The blend is 85% Zinfandel with 15% other assorted black varieties.

The 2018 Zinfandel Mancini Ranch is ripe, racy and perfumed, with bright blood orange-infused acids that give the red-toned fruit notable energy and brightness. This is such a gorgeous and expressive Russian River Zinfandel. Soaring aromatics, silky tannins and vibrant fruit make this Mancini absolutely compelling. It is one of my favorite wines in the range.
