Deep garnet in color, the 2014 Zinfandel Fighting Brothers offers an abundance of black fruit preserves and blueberry pie notes plus underlying spice cake, incense and chocolate box hints. The richly fruited, full-bodied palate is packed with dried berries and spice layers, framed by velvety tannins and much needed freshness, which contributes a lively lift to the weighty finish.

Earthquake Zinfandel

2020 / 750 ml.

WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2023
A solid Zinfandel expression that’s sure to please lovers of big, bold reds. Find notes of blackberry and blueberry jam, black plum compote, black-cherry pie filling, vanilla, nutmeg and cacao all wrapped in a cologne-like aroma. Mouth-coating tannins are soft, plush and fairly well balanced by acidity. (Stacy Briscoe)

Estate Grown Zinfandel
2020 / 750 ml.

WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2022
Bright, lively black-cherry and raspberry flavors light up this well-balanced, well-focused and charming wine. It doesn’t lack for tannins and does feel full bodied, but pure fruit flavors and the zippy mouthfeel keep it light on its feet. Small amounts of Petite Sirah and Barbera were added in. (Jim Gordon)
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022
A blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Barbera, the 2020 Román Zinfandel has a medium ruby-purple color and aromatic layers of raspberry, red cherry, rhubarb, aniseed and lilac with touches of iron and orange peel. The medium-bodied palate is gently chewy, with tart, juicy fruits and a spicy finish. (Erin Brooks)
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, September 6, 2022
Aromas of red cherries, nutmeg, black pepper and blackberries. Medium-to full-bodied with some silky tannins. There is some nice spice here which is well married to the crushed red fruit and berries. Chocolate finish. 92% zinfandel, 4% petite sirah and 4% barbera. Drink now. (James Suckling)

So ripe that it seems sweet, this generous, mouthfilling wine soaks the palate with dried cherry, black raisin, chocolate and vanilla notes. It’s rich enough to be a dessert in itself or to pair with blue cheese or chocolate. (Jim Gordon)

More expressive aromatically, the 2021 Zinfandel Estate Block 303 La Storia is bursting with ripe fruit cocktail, mixed berries, and peach. Full-bodied, it is fresh and has a silky texture, with a hint of tea leaf and turned earth as well as a nice bit of tangy lift. Drink it over the next couple years. (Audrey Frick)
