1 Puff & 90 Points | Optimally ripened blackberry fruit is a constant in this juicy, well-focused Zin, and it is joined by a judicious dollop of sweet and slightly creamy oak. A rich and complete, nicely crafted offering with unwavering varietal authority, it is fairly full in body, but it is also quite carefully balanced with good energy and palatal length. Though it is open and tasty now, it is certain to age effortlessly for another four or five years and is, withal, a very well-made Zinfandel that reflects the virtues to be had from a very good vintage.
