Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

See hello to my new grilling buddy. It's inviting and delicious! The aromas are complex with ripe fruit concentration (red berry & plum), leather and baking spice. The palate is equally enticing and carries rich flavours of stewed berry fruit, leather, baking spice (nutmeg and all spice), tobacco leaf and mocha. Acidity and tannins are well-balanced. Enjoy with hickory or mesquite BBQ faves (chicken wings, ribs, whole chickens, etc). It is drinking well now, the tannins are smooth with a long mouthwatering ripe fruit finis. Tasted May 2016. @sommsosa @bespoketastings
A juicy vibrant Zinfandel with grapes growing in the heart of Mendocino County in northern California. Rich biological diversity surrounds the vineyards and unique microclimates. Vineyards are planted at high elevations overlooking the cool climate of the Russian River in Sonoma. Finishes with accented blackberry and cracked black pepper. - Community Wine Reviews
