Great as expected from Bucklin but is young and needs time. 90+ now 93 potential in 3-4 years.

Another great field blend from Bucklin, probably the most underrated Zin and field blend producer in California . Wine will only improve in the next 2-5 years.

This is a Zinfandel based on balance and elegance with bright red fruits (red cherries and red plums) with that back slash of white pepper and a touch of earth. Nice bright fruit and not jammy.

Boat loads of berries with nice mid level density. Good fruit flavors with balanced acidity.

14.1% ABV Young (1998) field blend, patterned after Old Hill Ranch ancient block. Really good. Will, you have produced a great one here!

Great zin based field blend, leather and boysenberry and clove, strong acidity for good aging. Very well balanced!

Tons of fruit, bramble notes. Smoke and strawberry shining on the nose. Very typical California Zin, not a complete fruit bomb, but quite a juicy delight. Wish the acid was a little more balanced, a bit muted from the alcohol. Some camphor notes and eucalyptus. 14.2%
