Reviews and Ratings

Jeremy Sprott rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Loads of ripe raspberry and strawberry, with some pepper and a touch of mint on the nose. The berries, pepper and the herbaceous elements from the nose come through on the palate.
A fantastically big wine that isn't overpowering. A nice addition with a grilled prime rib.
Gotta love this rich, generous Zinfandel with its abundant aromas and flavours of pomegranate, cherry and bumbleberry jam with a touch of briary complexity. Big and mouthfilling, it packs a wallop and will delight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, June 2013

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.
