95 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Zinfandel Rinaldi Vineyard comes from organically farmed vines, some more than 100 years old. It was made with 20% whole cluster and aged 18 months in 30% new French oak. It has a pale ruby color and segues from tar to dark fruits, purple flowers and crushed rock-like mineral nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and seamlessly structured with broody, floral laced flavors and a long, spicy finish. 
 
94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Zinfandel Rinaldi Vineyard sports an almost opaque ruby/plum color to go with impressive red and blue fruits as well as spice, savory herbs, incense, and pepper. Gorgeous on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied and has a seamless, elegant texture, present tannins, and a great finish. This is pure, all-star American Zinfandel to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years.
 
Winemaker Notes
A luminescent black cherry color with dark ruby notes. Aromatically this wine is as all about old vines, red soils, and the cooler climate high-elevation vineyard that is Rinaldi. Aromatics of black cherry, caramel, barky, wild underbrush, white pepper, wild raspberries, freshly baked puff pastry and loamy notes. The palate is full and so lush, round and soft. A streak of minerality and juicy tannins in the midpalate, with a sinewy feel, that gives way to an elegant, but intense finish. The flavors of black cherry, raspberry, white pepper, crème brûlée and just a hint of dusted cinnamon complete this wine.
