"Deceptively medium in body, the 2019 Zinfandel Estate Chiles Mill Vineyard is quite potent. Dark cherry, leather, incense, dried herbs and lavender all meld together. There's plenty of backbone to the tannin, which adds grip. Readers will find a deep, structured Zinfandel for the dinner table."

"Elegant in structure, this red swoons toward sleek tannins, offering a heart of pure raspberry and cherry flavors mixed with notes of underbrush and crushed pepper. Drink now through 2030. —T.F."
