Antonio Galloni

92 points

"The 2023 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is a seriously forbidding wine with tons of mountain structure, acid and tannin. Unyielding and imposing, the Dragon is searing in its intensity. Red fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper all race across the palate, supported by incisive, pointy tannins. Iron, white flowers and slate lend notable tension through the finish."

Wine Spectator

93 points

"Ripe and energetic without being bombastic, this Zin serves up potent flavors of blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate that finish with big, brooding tannins. Best from 2026 through 2033."
