A very good Zinfandel, rich and complex. Shows the balanced elegance of a fine Napa Cabernet, but the peppery, wild berry, leather, cola and anise flavors are pure Zinfandel. Contains a few splashes of Petite Sirah.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 92

There’s a very good Zinfandel in here, nicely dry and with fine tannins, but it’s drenched with too much oak. Smoky, sweet charred wood, vanilla and buttered toast dominate the cherry and pepper flavors. ——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 86

Packs a wallop with classic Zin personality, a big, rich, likeable wine filled with thrillingly ripe blackberry, cherry and chocolate flavors, and thick, gooey tannins. It’s in your face, but has a subtlety and grace that belie the size. ——S.H.(3/1/2006)—— 88
