95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming all from the Funsten Ranch in the Dry Creek Valley and 100% Zinfandel, the 2021 Zinfandel East Bench has a rich, more subtle style in its aromatics, with ripe plum, cigar, spice, and earthy nuances, and it certainly plays in the darker, red and black-fruited end of the spectrum. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium to full-bodied, has a deep, expansive, concentrated mouthfeel, velvety tannins, terrific mid-palate density, and a gorgeous finish. This richly textured, incredibly impressive Zinfandel ne...

Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of blackberry jam, menthol and crushed black pepper are lifted on the nose. The medium-bodied palate brings plump berry flavors perked up by a warm bubblegum spice accent. There's a mild grit to the tannins, but fresh acidity lends balance to it all. (AP)" (12/2021)

Composed of 76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah, and 2% Alicante Bouschet that underwent native primary and malolactic fermentation. Aged 16 months in American oak barrels, 30% of which were new. Winemaker tasting notes: "Ruby-garnet in color with aromas of dark plum, black cherry, baking spices, cola, wet gravel, toasted oak, violets and lavender. A full-bodied entry with bold and dark fruit leads to a layered and complex mid-palate with fine-grained tannins. Natural acidity balances the wine, creating a long, juicy finish."

Precedent was founded by Nathan Kandler who fell into a career in winemaking after a summer stint as a bartender provided the proverbial "bite" from the wine bug. The Kirschenmann Vineyard is recognized as one of Lodi’s great old-vine Zinfandel vineyards. Planted in 1915 on its own roots, this organically farmed vineyard has fast become one of Lodi’s most prized sites under the stewardship of famed winemaker Tegan Passalaqua. The sandy silica soils and the river’s cooling influence make this vineyard one of a kind. Nathan’s winemaking hand has everything...

Int'l Wine Cellar: "Good deep red. Exotic aromas of briary redcurrant and cherry liqueur, with a slightly stewed quality.

(RP)" (12/2008) 92 points Vinous: "Deep ruby-red. Exotically perfumed, slightly smoky bouquet of raspberry, blueberry, sandalwood and cracked pepper. The palate offers nervier red fruits, along with surprisingly graceful floral qualities and silky texture. There's something almost pinot-like (!) about this today. The finish repeats the fresh raspberry note and lingers impressively. (...

96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is elegant and expressive this vintage, with singular botanical nuances that give it a lot of personality. Its aromas open significantly as it spends time in the glass, from a core of red cherry jam to wafts of fernet, wildflowers and tea leaves. The palate is soft, supple and energetic, with detailed, nuanced fruit and an ethereal, layered finish. What a pleasure to drink!

95 points Wine & Spirits: "When Geyserville hits in a great vintage, it takes me back to what I originally loved about California wine. Or to that sense of optimism on a spring day when I first visited San Francisco in 1984, to pitch this magazine on publishing services. I didn’t know at the time that I would still be publishing it 40 years later, and I didn’t know how much California wine would change. Or how little the style and intention of Geyserville would change. The team at Ridge manages the vineyard’s generations of vines to produce complex wines...

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This deep, rich expression of Zinfandel, delivers notes of overripe blueberry and blackberry, blackplum jam, Mission figs, black-cherry compote, chocolate, vanilla, black pepper and a hint toasted wood.

Dense and succulent, the 2021 races across the palate, showing notable textural depth and persistence. All the elements are so well balanced. The Piner-Olivet is a blend of Carlisle, Papera, Mancini and Pagani, essentially three grand crus from the Russian River Valley and a fourth from Sonoma Valley!

Lisa Perrotti-Brown writes: "The iconic Gothic stone winery now known as Chateau Montelena was originally built by Alfred Tubbs in the 1880s. It was purchased by Jim and Judy Barrett in the early 1970s. The property came with around 100 acres of vines, but rather surprisingly, there was no Cabernet Sauvignon planted. At that time, it was believed that Calistoga was too warm to produce high quality Cabernet, and so the Estate vineyard was mainly planted to Zinfandel and Rhône varieties. In 1972 and 1974, Jim Barrett grubbed up a lot of the old vines and b...

Readers will find a Lytton Springs that is very much in reserve, as opposed to the rest of the 2021s in this report, all of which are more approachable. Salivating acids and veins of tannin lend shape and persistence, but the 2021 needs time. Red cherry fruit, blood orange, rose petal and sage are some of the notes that linger on the close."
