Score 90/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

From vines more than 100 years old, the 2021 Zinfandel Highwire Vineyard was matured in 50% new French oak for nine months. It has understated aromas of blueberry, apricot and bergamot. The light-bodied palate is soft and spicy with gently tangy acidity and an easygoing finish. 325 cases produced.

I really love the perfume of the 2021 Zinfandel Highwire Vineyard, which has the scent of walking into the forest after a fresh rainfall. Pouring a saturated ruby-purple, notes of blackberry, candied raspberry, and forest herbs are followed by a medium to full-bodied red with a bit more linear and fresh spine of acidity. It packs in compelling structure, with fine tannins and a brightness to the fruit that is long on the palate, revealing notes of fresh peach, dusty soils, and sweet herbs. This may be my favorite of these Zinfandel offerings from Hartford.
