Wonderment’s 3rd vintage from this steep hillside block. This mountain Zinfandel shows crimson and magenta colors in the glass. The nose exhibits the historical black cherry, spice and pepper characteristics this vineyard has shown since our inaugural vintage in 2012. Balanced acidity and long finish complete this wine.
*Zinfandel Chronicles – November 2016, 93pts “Crimson in color… Pretty nose of brambly black fruits, pepper and baking spices. Big and full bodied with medium acidity. Blackberries, cherries, peach and citrus on the palate. Really unique flavor profile. The finish is long and sweet. Delicious Zinfandel that will benefit with time in the cellar…”
IWR : California Zinfandel – A New Look, June 2017, 91pts “Dark ruby with hints of magenta in color, this Zinfandel block in the Pritchett Peaks Vineyard offers a bright, fruit forward wine exhibiting black cherry and cola on the nose followed by subtle hints of anise and currant. The wine finishes with notes of ripe berries and cedar.”
Wine Enthusiast – December 2017. 88pts “Deep dark black fruit is seasoned in big bold flavors of graphite, dried herb and chocolate. Full bodied and robustly ripe, this wine has a touch of heat to it, finishing in a smack of leather and tar.”
Wine Spectator – Web Only 2017, 87pts “Floral raspberry and sassafras aromas lead to ripe, tautly wound flavors of dried cherry and white pepper. Drink now through 2020.”
