Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

From California's Lodi region, this Zinfandel is dark garnet with good viscosity. The nose has ripe red fruit and herbal touches. The palate gives ripe red fruit, herbal notes, spicy touches and oak- a bit flat in the mouth.
Produced by Hope Family Wines, this Californian Zinfandel is not vintage-dated. Lots of chocolate and sweet fruit. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
