RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022 The NV OVR Lot 73 is composed mainly of Zinfandel with smaller portions of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Carignan and Barbera. Medium ruby, it offers intense red cherry, blood orange and apricot perfume with accents of rooibos tea leaves, red licorice, saline, lilac and loads of spicy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet with soft tannins, bursts of refreshing acidity and detailed amaro accents on the long finish. This is so easy to drink! (Erin Brooks)JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, October 5, 2022 Lovely aromas of pitted red cherries, black cherries, moss and walnut. Medium-to full-bodied with gentle tannins. Nice intensity with lovely length. Juicy, with so much herbal complexity and black fruit. Predominantly zinfandel, with syrah, petite sirah, grenache, barbera, carignan. Drink now.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2023 Tastes like the gutsy field blends popularized by Italian immigrants back in the day, with potent wild berry, licorice and smoky cracked pepper flavors that finish with broad-shouldered tannins. Zinfandel. Drink now through 2029. 16,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Jul 2018 Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Zinfandel St. Peter’s Church Vineyard has a nose of raspberry pie, blueberry compote and preserved plums with underlying hints of scorched earth, Indian spices, tobacco and stewed tea. Big, concentrated and full-bodied in the mouth, it has a racy line and a lovely plush texture, finishing with a compelling herbal lift. 165 cases were made.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 4th May 2023 There are almost 50,000 cases of the 2021 Zinfandel Blend 8 Years in the Desert, a mix of Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Grenache. Mixed raspberries, blackberries and blueberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, ripe and supple, yet with just enough softly dusty tannins, a velvety texture and no suggestion of raisined fruit. With its amiable nature and fresh, lingering finish, it should win lots of fans. (Joe Czerwinski)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022 The medium ruby colored 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley boasts an alluring mélange of spicy red and black cherries and berries on the nose, plus touches of cracked pepper, potpourri, aniseed and underbrush. The palate is full-bodied, spicy and layered, with grainy tannins and juicy acidity highlighting the spicy accents on the long finish. (Erin Brooks)WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2021 From a selection of grower vineyards and blended with 15% Petite Sirah, this is a widely accessible and desirable wine that shows notes of crushed rock and dried herb. Concentrated flavors of blackberry and cherry combine well to offer richness and plenty of reward. (Virginie Boone)
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2018 Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Zinfandel Monte Rosso features baked berries, cherry cordial, spice cake and potpourri on the nose with touches of mandarin peel and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, refreshingly tart and with a chewy backbone, it is wonderfully opulent and spicy on the palate with a long, earthy finish.VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2018 The 2016 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard is utterly sublime. Lifted, aromatically precise and nuanced, the 2016 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard is fabulous. Rose petal, blood orange, cranberry and raspberry notes give the Monte Rosso striking aromatic presence and brightness. Unfortunately, Bedrock, like all the other wineries that purchased grapes at Monte Rosso, no longer have access to the fruit off this historic ranch. Morgan Peterson and Chris Cottrell certainly chose a strong vintage as their last. The 2016 is sublime.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2018 Comes at you like a surly teenager but wins you over with power and personality. Cracked pepper and licorice aromas lead to brooding blackberry, orange zest and bay leaf flavors that finish with big but polished tannins. Best from 2019 through 2026. 300 cases made.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st May 2022 The exact proportions and origins of the 2020 Zinfandel Blend 8 Years in the Desert are deliberately kept fuzzy by the winery, but the wine does include Petite Sirah, Syrah and Barbera in addition to Zin. Aged in roughly half new oak, the nose brings an overlay of vanilla to a core of ripe blackberries. Full-bodied and open-knit, it adds briary, herbal notes on the palate, plus a bit of cracked pepper. Soft, dusty tannins mark the finish, along with hints of mocha and bittersweet chocolate. Drink it over the next several years. (Joe Czerwinski)SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Aug 31, 2022 A bold and brawny blend, offering straightforward dark berry and savory spice flavors. Ends with a peppery accent. Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Barbera. Drink now through 2030. 29,000 cases made.
VN92+92+ pts. - Vinous - Feb 2016 The 2014 Carlisle Vineyard is one of the more structured, driving wines in the lineup. Today, my impression is of a tightly wound, powerful red that is going to need time to come together. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, spice and mint are all pushed forward, but the 2014 needs time. The only question is how much. This is a distinctly red fruit-toned version of the Carlisle.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Oct 2015 From Mike Officer’s home vineyard, the 2014 Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard (planted in 1927) tips the scales at a whopping 14.9% alcohol, but hides it beneath a cascade of beautiful briary, raspberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit. It’s full-bodied, deliciously pure, ripe and a total hedonistic turn-on. Drink it over the next 5–6 years.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021 The 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley, aged in 20% new French oak, opens with bright blueberry coulis, lavender, tea leaves and potpourri scents. The medium-bodied palate explodes with perfumed, spiced fruits, softly textured and finishing with an addicting juicy quality. 387 cases were made.SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2022 Seamless, sleek and expressive, with polished cherry, licorice and savory cracked pepper flavors that glide on a silky finish. Drink now through 2029. 387 cases made.JD92+92+ pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/22/2021 The 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley offers a slightly darker, more exotic style in its plum, blueberry, and black cherry-like fruits as well as damp earth, bouquet garni, and toasted spice. It’s another beautifully balanced, elegant wine from Officer, yet there are enough tannins to warrant a year or two of bottle age. (Jeb Dunnuck)
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 4th May 2023 Rombauer’s 2020 Zinfandel is 87% Sierra Foothills, with the remainder of the fruit coming from Napa and Lake Counties; approximately half the fruit is from the family’s own vineyards. Aged primarily in older wood (less than 10% new oak), it’s a full-bodied, fruit-forward effort, marked by blackberries and mulberries. Gentle earth and briar notions bring just a bit of complexity to the table, while the texture is plush and ripe, the finish softly dusty and long. (Joe Czerwinski)
VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2021 The 2019 Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard is the finest wine I have tasted off this site yet. Effusive in its aromatics, with striking red berry fruit and gorgeous purity, the Kirschenmann shows the elegance that is possible in Lodi. All the elements come together effortlessly in the glass. The 2019 is such a classy wine.RP92+92+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 4th Feb 2021 The medium ruby colored 2019 Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard opens with a bit of tarry reduction over a core of black fruits and spices. The palate is offering much more at this youthful stage. It’s packed with dark, spiced fruits and is medium-bodied, soft and fresh with an earthy finish. It has great potential and just needs more time in bottle. 1,220 cases produced.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2021 The 2019 Zinfandel Steacey Ranch opens with a blast of dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and tobacco. Ripeness is decidedly pushed. Readers should expect an exuberant, flamboyant wine with generous dark fruit and tons of body. There is plenty of immediacy, but not a lot of subtlety. The Steacey Ranch Zinfandel is a wine of impact, that is obvious.RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 4th Feb 2021 The 2019 Zinfandel Steacy Ranch has a medium ruby color and opens with a touch of tarry reduction over a core of wild berry preserves and earth. Medium-bodied, the palate features dark, earth-laced fruits with a grainy frame and uplifted finish. Give it another year or two in bottle or a long decant. 1,070 cases produced.
