From dry-farmed, century-old vines, this wine is richly ripe in plum and black cherry, with a hot and heavy presence tempered by a lift of acidity. Dusty tannin and tobacco ride out the finish.

Riebli Valley Vineyard Zinfandel Reviews
Score: 90 | October 1, 2020 | Wine Enthusiast

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Zinfandel Riebli Vineyard gives up fragrant scents of raisin cake, stewed plums and dried roses with touches of hoisin, tobacco and dusty earth. Rich, full-bodied and spicy in the mouth, it has a solid line of freshness matching the chewy tannins that feature on the finish.

The 2013 Zinfandel Riebli Valley Vineyard looks more like Petite Sirah than one normally associates with Zinfandel. This is from apparently over 100-year-old head-pruned vines and low yields. The color is an inky ruby/purple, the wine rich, full-bodied, powerful and just classic Zinfandel. This is a stunner and a wine capable of offering gorgeous drinking for at least another 7-8 years.
