Seen this for years and thought it was Lodi for some reason, but this is legit Sonoma fruit and made in a very traditional way: all brambly and spicy, great extract and personality. Balanced and cohesive all the way thru modest finish. Great QPR as well — 13 days ago

Napa Valley Zinfandel 2019

Blend of mostly Zinfandel with a nice splash of Petite Sirah, deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with notes of licorice, herbs and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and tobacco notes. Nice! — 23 days ago

Saldo California Zinfandel 2021

Terrific wine! Lighter in color but not in taste. Started off in full Zin-mode and gradually changed to be a bit dryer. Hints of toffee, caramel and plum with the slight touch of tobacco in later pours. A beautiful wine to drink on a crisp Fall evening — 2 months ago

Pairs well with empanadas. Quite smooth, a little spicy but a well rounded Old Vine Zin. — 13 days ago

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Really tasty. Perhaps the first Cali Pinot noir that I’ve enjoyed, also probably because it drinks more like a zin. Dark opaque red. Slightly smokey. Full bodied. Bought it on sale for $35. Would love to have again. Had with apps on New Year’s Eve, but would be great with food and could even hold up to a heartier meal (steak, etc). — 2 days ago

Black Chicken Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021

Much more forest and earth compared to Rafanelli zin. So fun to drink next to each other. Rafanelli won this evening but love both zins. — a month ago
