94 Pts Wine Enthusiat Herbal and leathery, this impressive wine delights in aromas of white pepper, tar and meat. Robustly textured with full-bodied ripeness, it offers savory exoticism that's hard to resist. It was aged in 25% new French oak. 92+ Pts Jeb Dunnuck The 2016 Zinfandel Nun's Canyon Vineyard comes from Sonoma and saw 20% stems and 18 months in 20% new French oak. It has a more piercing bouquet of red plums, blueberries, cedar box, and incense. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, with a straight, focused texture, it has terrific balance and the class to evolve positively for over a decade. Conn Guide 91 Pts The highly concentrated fruit in this wine keeps coming and coming from first sniff to lasting, slurpy aftertaste, and while there is a certain extra bit of fleshiness to its texture, the wine is sure to please with savory foods ranging from Italian sausage sautéed with peppers and onions to lamb stew. And, despite cellaring being an option, the wine will stand up to full-flavored dishes from day one. Reviewed: January 2019
