Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2004

Bright red-ruby. Superripe aromas of black cherry, briary dark berries, spices and tar; light roasted and candied suggestions. Dense and very ripe but lively, with a pungent spiciness lifting the briary berry flavors. Chewy, classy zinfandel, with a long, spicy, very fresh finish. Lower in alcohol than most of these '02 zins, at 14.5%; but this year the fruit ripened well on Howell Mountain.
