Medium-dark to dark garnet-ruby. A totally killer nose of red and black berries, eucalyptus, and a slight suggestion of pepper and lavender. Full-bodied and voluptuous but with nothing out of place. Quite expressive and exotic with flavors of blackberry liqueur, licorice, and spice. This is a great wine no matter what the vintage!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch contains 11% mixed black varieties. The vineyard was planted in 1926, mainly to Zinfandel but with nine other varieties (but no white grapes). Aged in 25% new French oak, it has a deep ruby-purple color and Syrah-esque nose of cracked peppercorn, prosciutto, baked blackberries and blackcurrant with blue fruit hints, eucalyptus, sage, dried flowers and exotic spices. Medium-bodied, the palate is silky with restrained fruits, lightly chewy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and nuanced. 390 cases produced.
