The 2022 Mountain Zinfandel is everything that has made this wine a Paso Robles phenomenon for more than 20 years. Deep aromas of blueberry, cherry and fruit leather reveal notes of sweet baking spices. The mouthfeel is plush and expansive with seamless flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, mulberry and vanilla. A velvety smooth finish lingers with a kiss of subtle peppery spices.
Vinous
- v91+
The 2021 Zinfandel Mountain is quite savory in the glass. Wild herbs, black currants and ashen stone can be found with swirling. This ia a surprisingly juicy and fresh, with crisp red and black fruits under an air of sweet lavender. Building tannins define the finish, clamping down hard while leaving the violet inner florals to fade slowly. Cellering will be required.

Black raspberry, crumpled purple flowers, turned earth and smoked meat aromas make for an attention-grabbing nose on this bottling. A firm frame upholds the oaky flavors of the palate, which pairs boysenberry and violet with dry tannins.
