Renwood Grandpère Reserve Zinfandel 2020

Aromas are immediately floral with crushed violets and dark red rose petals; voluptuous black plum and black cherry follow, along with a sea-salt salinity and a decadent dusting of cacao. Tannins are firm, but mature and well-balanced by that vivacity of fruit that brings along a good dose of acidity. This is a high-quality wine at a fairly accessible price point – and one that’s easily enjoyable now but will cellar well through 2030. Score – 92. (Stacy Briscoe, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 1, 2023)
