RESTAURANT WINE 1999 Issue #70 “:****+ Vibrantly fruity and rich; a powerful, intensely flavored Zinfandel, tasting of raspberry, cherry, and red plum, with overtones of pepper, tomato, and oak.”

 

“92” Norm Roby “robywine . Com” Vol.2 No.1, March 7, 1999, “…it is hard to find a bigger, bolder Zin than this 97. It is loaded with thick, ripe spicy, berry fruit and plenty of wood and supple tannin. It is enormous, but also enormously delicious.”

 

“90”Wine Enthusiast July 2000 (page 64): “From nearly-century-old vines. An excellent wine defining the old-vine style. Ripe, fruity, and very extracted and spicy, but not over the top. Manages to keep the alcohol under control and achieves a claret-like balance and harmony.”
