Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A complex, full-bodied Zinfandel with aromas of wet cedar, dried eucalyptus leaves, sweet cinnamon, dark berries, floral notes and black tea. In terms of flavours, there is ripe dark berries, tea, and a subtle touch of cedar. The flavours linger on the palate.

Tasted November 2017
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Ripe dark fruit and savoury notes with a hit of jalapeno. Smooth and well-integrated -not for the timid!
Tasted Nov. 2017
Earthquake (2014) is a powerful, full-bodied, deep red Zinfandel (with a splash of Petite Sirah) from the Lodi wine region in California. ON the nose the wine is blackberry jam, blueberry and white pepper spice. On that palate look for raspberry pie, baking spice and leather. Pair with rib-eye steaks with sage with a smattering of blue cheese. Made from old vines in the Lodi region of California. Very juicy and rich on the palate and finish. Drink: 2017-2022. Score - 91 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Nov. 25, 2017). - Community Wine Reviews
