Wine Advocate 95:
The 2021 Román Zinfandel is juicy, alluring and easy to drink without sacrificing complexity, offering tremendous quality for its modest price. Blended with 4% Petite Sirah and 4% Barbera, the nose is bursting with kaleidoscopic yellow peaches, strawberries and raspberries plus nuances of sage, aniseed and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate has a finely chalky frame, fireworks of fresh acidity and generous layers of spicy fruit that call you back for another sip.
Now, not only is this the top Roman Zin score ever – it came out ahead of no less than twenty top Turley Zinfandels in 2021, as well as the Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert!
