Critic Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
The 2021 Zinfandel Rattlesnake contains 6% Petite Sirah and was matured for 14 months in 30% new French and American oak. It has open, inviting aromas of red and black cherries and plums, charcuterie, cardamom and star anise. The full-bodied palate is velvety and refreshing with layered, perfumed flavors, integrated oak spices and a long finish.
