"Floral blueberry and black raspberryscented nose...full-bodied mouthfeel and serious tannin in the background." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Very big, deeply flavored and densely concentrated wine...a massive juggernaut of blackberries, blueberries, coffee and sweet, smoky oak." -Rated 93, Wine Enthusiast

"Very much a convincing statement of Seghesio's very ripe but very fruity style of Zinfandel, the latest Old Vine bottling is a fairly big-bodied working that, despite its certain flare of creamy oak and extracted berries, is a surprisingly well-balanced wine that could do with age. Powerful and potent and a bit gruff as it unfolds, it is underscored by obvious heat and stiffened by acidity, but not for a moment does it relinquish its firm grasp on fruit, and its prospects for grow are assured." -Rated 91, Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines
