This is delightful, surprised this isn’t a reserve offering from them. Beautiful tannin structure with bramble fruits, almost like biting in to a blackberry pie. Not sure of the varietal make up of this wine, but I assume there is some petit Verdot in it. Beautiful wine! — 7 years ago

Mazzicco Zinfandels are destined to be at the top of every list. Never disappointed in them. — 8 years ago

Love mazzocco wines. I find they hold up nicely & I’ve never been dissatisfied w/ any corkiness or inconsistencies. Have had a few Stone vineyard Zins & they are huge, red berry bombs but I never feel “heat” from 15.5% alc - unlike some big zins. If I ate red meat, I guess I’d recommend for a large NY Strip & grilled onions...but had to suffice w/ some tallagio cheese/crackers! — 5 years ago

Big thick dried fruit — 5 years ago
A serious gripper, this wine is high on the tannin scale. I had the 2018 and it seems like it might need another couple of years to mellow out. However, I do love these dry, “gripping” wines, so this in getting a 9 from me. — 6 years ago
Earthy tones. Complex but young. Great lighter zin. — 7 years ago
Smooth & Jammy. Excellent pairing with pizza or red sauce pasta. Mazzocco produces excellent wine and this is one of them. — 8 years ago
This Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is extremely dark with a deep, rich nose. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry and currant come forcefully, with delightful black pepper, vanilla and smoke on top. The palate has a distinctly savory side - sage, rosemary, white pepper - and the fruit is all dark and smoky. Tannins hit a sweet spot and will prove useful without getting in the way. The sip is smooth and delicious, as the best Zinfandels usually are. — 8 years ago
Solid. Would like to drink again in 2 or 3 years. A bit overpriced — 9 years ago
