The 2013 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch, a blend of 89% Zinfandel and 11% mixed blacks, is a powerful wine with 15.8% alcohol. One of the largest 2013 cuvées (700 cases), it was aged in 20% new French oak. Copious aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit emerge from this big, boldly flavored, savory, full-bodied, classic, peppery, spicy, mouthfilling Zinfandel. This beauty should develop into one of the beauties in the 2013 portfolio. Drink 2015-2024.- Robert M. Parker, Jr. (12/2014)
A killer Zin that balances sheer power with a lively structure of acidity and tannins. Floral dark berry, licorice and Asian spice aromas combine with ripe, fleshy and complex flavors of blackberry and smoky cracked pepper. Drink now through 2027. 795 cases made. — TF (03/2016)
