Natalie's Score: 88/100

Vintages Wine Panel: Quite lithe and lively for Zinfandel with very engaging notes of red cherry, raspberry pie, plum and cinnamon toast on the nose. The palate is dry and medium-full bodied with a bright acidity and well integrated, balanced ripe tannins. Impressively structured with lots of fruit without being jammy. Very nicely made. My note: Mocha, dark chocolate aromas with smooth, full-bodied and juicy goodness.

Zinfandel food pairings: beef kebabs, lasagna.

Reviews and Ratings

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

The palate is fruit forward, filled with raspberries and a long finish of crushed pepper and earl grey tea. The wine is medium to dark crimson in color and displays briary white pepper spiciness

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
