Planted on calcareous shale soils the 2022 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard leads with a compelling brooding nose of iron tree bark autumn leaves scorched earth and a deep core of just-ripe wild red cherry fruit. The palate is dense and saturated with immense concentration but has the framing to hold it without going out of balance. The finish combines punchy ripe fruit flavors with a fine dusty tannin structure lined with vibrant mineral-laced acidity. This wine does an admirable job of straddling monolithic density and lifted vibrancy and deserves several years in bottle to unwind and further come into itself. Reviewed by: Matthew Luczy
