Score 90/100 · Drink 1993-2003, Robert Parker, Feb 1996

Note to Readers: This wine was included in issue 103 in a section titled "Time and Chance Reveal All Secrets" in which Robert Parker described the characteristics of top American Zinfandels (robust, exuberant, supple, velvety-textured generosity displayed in an ostentatious manner) and emphasized the fact that they are meant to be drunk within 6-7 years of the vintage. The wines were tasted blind in December, 1995.

Very good deep color, but not ruby like the above. Perfumed, refined aroma of dusty, spicy black cherry; quite like Pauillac. Lush, sweet and supple on the palate, with strong, fresh black cherry flavor. Finishes with ripe tannins, though the tannins come across as a bit less obtrusive here because the acidity is lower. Quite suave. 14.9% alcohol.
