"A terrific Zinfandel, with a polished, pretty structure and ripe, vibrantly classic
Zinny flavors. Floods the mouth with berries, cola, licorice, mocha and dusty spices, wrapped into beautifully fine, ripe tannins. Impossible to resist sip after sip. Defines Russian River Zinfandel at its best. Editors’ Choice."
