Solid little wine. Not a brut nor a push over. Fuller side of medium bodied but without extracting a concentrated expression of zin in the jam department. Balanced and nice to have with dinner.

Dec 30th, 2015One of the great CA zinfandels. Bright and spicy, with a mint note on the nose. Always good.

May 3rd, 2015Great balance and finesse for California Zinfandel. Full of flavor but not a punch in the face.

Mar 29th, 2015Deep dark bold. Plum and Blackberry. Woody resin with mild tannins. Excellent when paired with steak off the grill drizzled with Olive Oil and a squeezed Lemon.

Mar 8th, 2015A blend of three vineyards in Saint Helena has produced a nice peppery Zinfandel with a 14.9% alcohol content. This reasonably priced wine pairs well with a hamburger or a BBQ chicken. This 2012 follows in the footsteps of previously released sins that Green and Red has produced.
