BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | Red fruits dominate the nose, which is lifted, zesty, and shows considerable purity. The red fruits are echoed on the palate, which is surprisingly edgy and even herbaceous. This slight greenness in unexpected in 2014 but unavoidably present here. A shame, since the fruit quality is good—it just lacks full ripeness across the board. | 84

Alex Hunt | Great depth of strawberry jam and herbaceous aromas abound in this paler-style wine. It has a delicious fruity entry on the palate, though does become a little animal-funky toward the end. It’s an unconventional Zinfandel in all sorts of ways, perhaps tending toward a more Pinot-like expression. But there’s no doubting the drive and cohesion here. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Bright and translucent; lightly colored against its peers. Sweet, strawberry-like scents, but a little attenuated. Very attenuated on the palate, with light, stretched flavors where the fruit texture begins to break away, and there seems nothing much beneath. | 79
