"Plump and polished, with multilayered flavors of cherry and huckleberry highlighted by briar patch and toasty spice notes that glide on the jammy finish. Drink now through 2033. —T.F."

"The 2022 Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa has pure, layered scents of red cherries, green olives, autumn leaves, white pepper and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is plush and juicy with nuanced flavors and a long, spicy finish. It's delicious straight from the bottle. 1,426 cases produced."

"Sporting the iconic old label Martinelli used in the early 1900s, the 2022 Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa pours a transparent but more jeweled red color and offers a fresh, juicy profile in the glass, with appealing fruit aromas of fresh red plum, spice, wild brambly herbs, and fresh floral perfume. Medium-bodied and ripe, it has more modest acidity, with a silky tannin structure and a juicy, approachable feel. It's fresh now and is going to drink well over the next 8-10 years."
