Wine Spectator – May 31, 2018 – 90pts “A briary, zesty red, offering lively raspberry, dried sage and rosemary flavors, with fresh pepper accents that lead to refined tannins. Drink now through 2023.” -TF
RobertParker.com – July 31st, 2018 – 88pts “Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Zinfandel Pritchett Peaks Vineyard has a nose of baked raspberries, blueberry compote and stewed plums with touches of sautéed herbs, tobacco and dusty earth. The big, boldly fruited, full-bodied palate has a chewy frame with a lively line lifting the long, earth laced finish. Drink thru 2023”
Zinfandel Chronicles, November 2017 – 92pts “Crimson in color. 14.9% ABV. Scrumptious nose of black fruits, pepper and a hint of peach. Medium to full bodied with medium acidity. Lush yet elegant. Black cherry, black raspberry and pepper on the palate. Medium length on the finish. Drink over the next 2-4 years.”
Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine, January 2018 – 87pts “The Rockpile district in northern Sonoma County has rightfully become noted for expressive, full-bodied Zinfandels that make no apologies for ripeness, and this fairly forthright version runs right to the brink without going a step over. It is a mouthfilling wine that can age for a bit, yet it is surprisingly approachable now, and, if its riper embrace comes at the cost of a touch of tag-end heat, it does not dry out or give in to desiccation and is kept on course by berry-like fruit.”
