Score 92/100 · Drink 2007-2025, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, May 2018
The 1997 Zinfandel Jimsomare is fully mature, revealing aromas of red fruits, dark chocolate, spice and subtle cedar. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, rich and savory, with supple, melting tannins and good balancing acidity. At age 21, this Zinfandel has burned through its baby fat and is revealing plenty of tertiary nuance to complement its sweet fruit, but it's in no danger of imminent decline.
