Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Gorgeous! Old Vine California Zinfandel from the single vineyard of Belloni in the Russian River Valley. The 2014 vintage is bursting with old vine aromatics and intense well-rounded flavour. Weighing in at 14.6% ABV, the alcohol is integrating nicely. Deeply concentrated, dense ripe blueberry, ripe raspberry and blackberry with well rounded French oak character and minerality. Paired well with Beef Chimichurri and grilled veggies, Yucatán arracheras steak tacos. Drinking well on its own likewise. Easy to love. Pre-release tasted 2014 vintage in May 2017 after an hour uncorked. 93 points. Great value. BespokeTastings.ca
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A superb mouthful of spicy anise, licorice, leather, graphite minerality, stewed black plum-cassis and sweetened tobacco flavours. A rich, ripe, full-bodied Zinfandel with a plush mouthfeel, moderate (developing) tannins and balanced acidity. Enjoy with a charcoal grilled prime rib.
