"Handsomely structured and full-bodied yet refined in approach, offering blackberry and cherry flavors laced with mocha espresso and cinnamon notes that build richness toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2033. 1,200 cases made.—Tim Fish"

"A generous and glittering Zinfandel that is both savory and mouthwatering. This wine showcases raspberry, ripe plums, tobacco and dry, forest notes. Robust and lengthy. — Elaine Chukan Brown"

"Aromas of blueberry tart, poached rhubarb, cigar box and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm yet integrated tannins, bright acidity and notes of black cherries, baking spices and burnt oranges. Block 28 sits at 60 meters above sea level and is planted to St. George rootstock. The wine is aged for 15 months in 65% new oak. A powerful and tightly bound wine that will age gracefully. Drink or hold."

"Lots of dark cherries, blueberry compote and violets followed by vanilla, Christmas spices and roasted coffee beans. Full-bodied, soft acidity and finely grained ripe tannins. Energetic yet harmonious wine with good freshness. Drink or hold."
