   The 2018 Zinfandel isn’t far off the style of the Grenache yet has plenty of classic Zin character as well. Blue fruits, peppery herbs, sandalwood, tobacco, and assorted spice notes all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, layered texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is a gorgeous Zinfandel, and like the Grenache release, it’s a singular wine. Drink it over the coming 10–12 years as well.

   The 2018 Zinfandel packs a serious punch. Bright, deep and full of character, the 2018 captures all the essence of this Howell Mountain site. Sweet red cherry fruit, wild flowers, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco all race out of the glass. This is a pretty rich style for Zinfandel, but it works.
