"The 2024 Papera Ranch Heritage Wine is textbook Russian River. Rich, heady and exuberant, the 2024 offers up copious red-toned fruit intermingled with scents of orange peel, cinnamon, dried flowers, coffee and cedar. Soft contours add to an impression of total finesse. Zinfandel and Carignan drive a field blend composed of 13 varieties."

"You can smell the briar patch in the glass with this bold and zesty red. Flavors of blueberry and raspberry are layered with green peppercorn, roasted sage and orange zest and finish with lively tannins. Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir and Valdiguié. Drink now through 2035.-T.F."

"Bold and plump with personality yet retains a sense of finesse, offering distinctive flavors of blackberry, licorice, briar patch and cracked pepper that take on tension and tannins on the finish. Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir and Valdiguié. Drink now through 2025."T.F."
