Score 87/100 · Drink 2001-2007, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
A blend of 91% Zinfandel and 9% Carignan, the 1999 Zinfandel Buchignani Ranch (ATP) (14.7% alcohol) is a foursquare, monolithic effort offering notes of soil, cherries, and red currants. While straightforward and fleshy, it lacks the complexity and nuances typically found in Ridge Zinfandels. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233
