"Medium ruby. Black cherry, black plum, fresh high acid, chewy tannin. Light bramble spice and a touch of cola to the finish. The whole package – just lovely! (SCJ)"

"The 2022 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard is dark and deeply spiced, but also not quite as imposing as it can be in some years. Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, incense and orange zest all run though this heady, mid-weight Zinfandel. The 2022 is silky and lifted. This is all charm."

"Planted on calcareous shale soils, the 2022 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard leads with a compelling, brooding nose of iron, tree bark, autumn leaves, scorched earth and a deep core of just-ripe wild red cherry fruit. The palate is dense and saturated with immense concentration but has the framing to hold it without going out of balance. The finish combines punchy, ripe fruit flavors with a fine, dusty tannin structure lined with vibrant, mineral-laced acidity. This wine does an admirable job of straddling monolithic density and lifted vibrancy and deserves several years in bottle to unwind and further come into itself."

"Broad-shouldered and powerfully structured yet detailed and stylish, with deep flavors of blackberry and cherry accented by bittersweet chocolate, orange peel and fruitcake spices that gather tension and richness on the slightly firm finish. Drink now through 2037.—T.F."
