Wine & Spirits, 93 Points 

"This grows at a 10-acre vineyard, 10 miles from the coast, planted in 2008 with the St. Peters Church clone of zinfandel. It’s a complex wine, its structure and oak integrated enough that you could drink it tonight, even as the flavors keep developing with air, bringing cardamom and curry spice to the fleshy plum fruit, while mineral-inflected tannins keep it supple and dynamic." 

James Suckling, 91 Points 

"Full-bodied red with stewed plums, blueberries, chocolate, orange peel and roasted herbs on the nose. Rich and layered, with medium tannins and a nice juxtaposition of cooked fruit, citrus zest and herbal elements. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Fresh baked blueberry pie cooling on a window sill is the image that comes to mind. The 2017 Flatridge Zinfandel is soft, supple with a never ending finish that seems to linger and linger. Notes of earthiness and sage coupled with dark, ripe berries make this rich wine the perfect accompaniment with a decadent dark chocolate dessert, grilled sirloin with black peppercorn sauce, or on its own. This wine will drink nicely for the next 5-7 years. Cheers! "
