An interesting and likeable wine. It’s dry, but packed with ripe cherry pie flavors and a dusting of powdered sugar and cocoa, and a tiny taste of currants. Would benefit from greater acidity or tannins. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 87

This is a good example of a slightly rustic, mountain-grown Zinfandel. It’s dry and powerful in wild, brambly fruit and alcohol, and the tannins are assertive. Has a rough-and-ready character but is clean and balanced and possesses a sense of the earth.——S.H.(11/1/2002)—— 87
