I’ve waxed (eloquent? Well, at least waxed!! 🤔) about the virtues and quality of this excellent 2020 Zinfandel multiple times, but this wine is still punching well above its weight (the so-called “leftovers” that didn’t make the single vineyard cut), long finish, lovely!! Going to the Bedrock pickup party in Sonoma tomorrow to get some of the 2024s I’ve already purchased, so this is a great warmup!! — 17 days ago

To me, this smells and tastes like a late-70s, old school Napa Cab. Very dark color. Nose charges out of the gates with cassis, olives, dark green pungent herbs, gravel, and a little iodine. Approachable (and enjoyable) already on the palate. Sure, it’s a bit tannic but they’re soft, with mouth-coating savory flavors. None of that damn chocolateyness I don’t like (which seems near-ubiquitous now in Napa Cabs), and zero jamminess. What a value (I got it for $39) for a very tasty and true-to-type Napa Cab. — 2 months ago

Fantastic wine for the price ( under $15). Dry, aromas of lime and peach. Very refreshing. Surprisingly complex for a wine at this price. — 6 months ago

Zinfandel and Carignan from a 123-year-old vineyard in Santa Clara County in the foothills on the way to Santa Cruz, super juicy and spicy, great depth and length, still super youthful, lovely. To be released 10/28/25. — 16 days ago

Deep garnet color. Aromas of blackberry, plum, leather and barnyard funk. Bright red cherry on the palate, plum, blackberry and cedar. Astonishing 24 year old wine. — a month ago

Pale ruby in color; stewed strawberries, hibiscus, and raspberries on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberry sauce, red currants, eucalyptus, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. — 5 months ago

Lovely domestic interpretation of Tempier Rose and at half the Tempier price how can one complain? — 6 months ago
