Score 93-95/100 · Drink 2025-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023
The 2021 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch is intensely aromatic and light on its feet. There is an element of exoticism here that is impossible to miss. This nuanced, Zinfandel-based field blend is vivid and exceptionally beautiful. I don’t think I have ever tasted a wine like this. The 2021 is 87% Zinfandel and 13% mixed blacks.

A deep ruby, the 2021 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch is exuberant with aromas of eucalyptus oil, ripe nectarine, and blue flowers. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate, it is refined with elegant tannins, a long finish, and a more polished feel in its seamless, silky texture. This is another one of my favorites in the lineup. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
