Mauritson Zinfandel

2019 / 750 ml.

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022
The medium ruby colored 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley boasts an alluring mélange of spicy red and black cherries and berries on the nose, plus touches of cracked pepper, potpourri, aniseed and underbrush. The palate is full-bodied, spicy and layered, with grainy tannins and juicy acidity highlighting the spicy accents on the long finish. (Erin Brooks)
WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2021
From a selection of grower vineyards and blended with 15% Petite Sirah, this is a widely accessible and desirable wine that shows notes of crushed rock and dried herb. Concentrated flavors of blackberry and cherry combine well to offer richness and plenty of reward. (Virginie Boone)

JD9494 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/22/2021
Just a quintessential Russian River Valley Zinfandel, the 2019 Zinfandel Russian River Estate reveals a semi-translucent ruby/purple color to go with a wonderful perfume of blueberries, plums, flowery incense, cedarwood, and loads of spice. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied and has a seamless layered texture, no hard edges, and just wonderful purity of fruit. You can’t go wrong with this wine, which remains an outstanding Zinfandel vintage after vintage. It’s drinking beautifully today and should be drinking nicely at age 7 or 8, if not a decade. (Jeb Dunnuck)

The 2019 Zinfandel (Russian River Valley) is bright and full of energy. Ripe red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, spice, lavender and mint are front and center in this refreshing Russian River Zinfandel. Floral notes and bright acids perk up the finish. This is such a gorgeous wine, and also a great introduction to this lineup. The Russian River Zinfandel is really a Zinfandel-based field blend from Limerick Lane and a handful of other properties, including Banfield, Collins, Sodini and Ponzo.
WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2021
With a bright entry of red fruit, this field blend is rounded and richly full bodied, balanced by its underlying acidity and waves of dried herb and clove. Leather, black pepper and a touch of nutmeg figure into the hearty mix.

SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2022
Seamless, sleek and expressive, with polished cherry, licorice and savory cracked pepper flavors that glide on a silky finish. Drink now through 2029. 387 cases made. (Tim Fish)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021
The 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley, aged in 20% new French oak, opens with bright blueberry coulis, lavender, tea leaves and potpourri scents. The medium-bodied palate explodes with perfumed, spiced fruits, softly textured and finishing with an addicting juicy quality. 387 cases were made.
JD92+92+ pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/22/2021
The 2019 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley offers a slightly darker, more exotic style in its plum, blueberry, and black cherry-like fruits as well as damp earth, bouquet garni, and toasted spice. It’s another beautifully balanced, elegant wine from Officer, yet there are enough tannins to warrant a year or two of bottle age. (Jeb Dunnuck)

VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2022
The 2019 Zinfandel Piner-Olivet Ranches is a blend taken from five ranches in this very unique district of the Russian River. A deep, layered wine, the 2019 shows all of the allure of the year in its open-knit, opulent personality. Super ripe red cherry/plum fruit, spice, wild flowers and blood orange are front and center in this bold, luscious Zinfandel. Vineyard sites are Papera Ranch, Carlisle Vineyard, Mancini Ranch, Montafi Ranch and Saitone Vineyard.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2022

VN9393 pts. - Vinous - May 2022
The 2020 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is a terrific wine for the year. Dark red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, licorice and dried fruits all run through this fleshy, racy Zinfandel from one of Sonoma’s very finest sites. Plush and yet not quite as ample Pagani Zinfandels can be, the 2020 is an exceptional effort for the vintage. All the elements are so well balanced. (Antonio Galloni)
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Mar 31, 2023
Potent and brooding, with deep black raspberry and currant flavors highlighted by spice box, green peppercorn and herbes de Provence notes that build toward broad-shouldered tannins. Needs time. Best from 2024 through 2032. 3,500 cases made. (Tim Fish)

Leading off the 2021 barrel samples, the, 2021 Red Blend Scouts Honor checks in as 76% Zinfandel, 14% Charbono, and the rest Petite Sirah and Syrah, with 69% of the blend coming from Napa Valley and the rest from Sonoma. Blue fruits, candied violets, wild strawberries, and cigar notes define this medium to full-bodied, sweetly fruited, forward, Zinfandel bomb of a wine.
