Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2032, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

The 2017 Zinfandel Piner-Olivet Ranches, aged in 26% new oak, is medium to deep ruby-purple with aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb, cranberry and chocolate with warm earth, mixed berry preserves, nectarine tart and loads of spice and floral accents. The palate is medium-bodied, intense, firm and chewy with great freshness and a layered finish. 465 cases produced.

The 2017 Zinfandel Piner-Olivet Ranches always represents a blend of vineyards, but in 2017 it comes primarily from the Carlisle Estate Vineyard in the Russian River. Darker fruits, chocolate, spice box, and plenty of roasted herb notes all flow to a mouthfilling, textured 2017 that has plenty of grip and length. It will keep for a decade with no issues.

The 2017 Zinfandel Piner-Olivet Ranches is absolutely gorgeous. Silky and inviting, with lovely creaminess, the Piner-Olivet Ranches has so much to offer. Juicy dark red berry, blood orange, mint, spice and pomegranate infuse a super-expressive Russian River Zinfandel endowed with tremendous class. The 2017 is a blend of fruit from Carlisle, Papera and Montafi, all top sites in their own right. This is one of the highlights in the range.
