Classic Zin. Raisins and deep cherry blended into a robust experience.

The 2018 Zinfandel Black Chicken is dense and explosive in the glass. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, cloves, new leather, licorice and earthy notes abound. This is an especially potent, brooding Zinfandel, with all of its elements in total harmony. Drink it over the next 10-20 years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2021)

Love it. The standard for Napa zin. Plums, prunes, earth, cocoa, acid, well balanced, crowd pleaser, but still interesting. So good

Think this might need more bottle time and it was pretty sweet. Not the best value for me. Big stuff.

Excellent Napa zin for the price. Great dark fruits, cocoa, really good tannin and an earthiness that makes it so drinkable. Classic zin that I wish more sins imitated.

Extraordinary Zin. Bold, dark, luscious fruit. Reminds me more of a high end Napa Cab blend. Wonderful with a steak.
