Wine Enthusiast 90 Pts From a well-known old-vine site for Zinfandel, this wine shows the prowess of other varieties within its ground. Thick, leathery and tart, it retains plenty of acidity within a core of full-powered earth and stems. The richness is complemented by seasonings of white and black pepper. Conn Guide 93 Pts Fans of Jeff Cohn's wines may well prefer this bottling to the Iron Hill effort because this one has the "swaggering, swashbuckling" personality that is most often associated with the leaders of Mr. Cohn's parade. It is deep and extracted with dense blackberryish fruit accented by notes of black plum, dark roasted coffee and burnt chocolate all in service to its remarkable central fruit. That it has sinew and a touch of latter palate heat is to be expected, yet, when served with a well-seasoned lamb shank or something of that ilk, it shines even now and will only get better and better for up to a decade to come.
