Jon Steeves rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Another great vintage of juicy Cali Zin. With big red and black berry fruit, earthy aged leather, a touch of smokiness, baking spice. Well balanced, integrated medium tannins and alcohol. Medium plus bodied. A fantastic pairing with gourmet hamburgers, Chile con carne. Also easily enjoyable on its own. Tasted the 2016 vintage in March 2019 after decanting 2 hours. 92 points #goodvalue

Natalie's Review

Joel Gott Zinfandel 2016, California, United States: Joel Gott's does it again with the 2016 Zinfandel. Beautifully, rich, full-bodied and layered with ripe dark plums, red berry jam, sweet spice, vanilla and caramel flavours on the palate. This Zin was matured in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels. Pour with sticky, spicy pork ribs or beef sliders with all the trimmings. Drink: 2018-2024. 224139 14.80% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 93/100. January 5, 2019 Top Rated Red Wine. Magnificent Meat Pizza Wine Full Review

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.
