Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2008, Robert Parker, Jun 2000
Proprietor Nils Venge has fashioned an opaque purple-colored Zinfandel revealing a late-harvest, nearly over-ripe tar, asphalt, jammy blackberry, prune-like character. Full-bodied, chewy, and viscous, with powerful, concentrated, muscular, black fruit and American oak flavors, this firm yet heavyweight Zinfandel can be drunk now as well as over the next 7-8 years.
