Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2022
The 2017 Zinfandel Buchignani Ranch is a terrific choice for readers who enjoy wines with a bit of age. Time has softened some of the primary fruit, but also seems to have added weight. Black cherry, incense, tobacco, leather, licorice and cloves. There's quite a bit of Carignane, which probably also explains the wine's richness. Readers should expect a virile, brooding Zinfandel with tons of character.
