The 2021 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley is fabulous. Bold, rich and full of character, the 2021 is full of potential. Succulent red cherry, kirsch, menthol, dried herbs and cedar are all beautifully delineated. Elegant and lifted, the 2021 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Vineyard sources are Teldeschi and Mounts Ranch, with a touch of Petite Sirah, also from Mounts.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2023
A ripe red hue, sanguine and iron-rich mineral aromas lift from the glass of the 2021 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley, along with fresh red plum, menthol, and pine. Supple and rounded, it is medium to full-bodied, with pure notes of ripe cherry liqueur, apricot, and mocha, fresh acidity, and a silky texture. Drink 2024-2034.
