The 2022 Zinfandel Angeli is compelling. Deep, layered and exquisitely beautiful, the Angeli screams with Zinfandel character. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2022 is not in any way overdone. Rather, it conveys a sense of old-school California that is so appealing. Dried herbs, gravel, tobacco, cedar and mint weave through a core of dark red Zinfandel fruit.

91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Angeli Zinfandel is bursting with scents of graham cracker, briar berries, violet, wild thyme and slowly emerging foresty undertones. The full-bodied palate is packed to the brim with ripe, juicy berry fruit. It has a pleasant touch of chew to its tannins to support its generous fruit, and it has a long, gently warm finish.

About the Wine

Honor the land. Our Estate Series celebrates our connection to Nature, which inspires and sustains us. Each of these wines represents our purest expression of distinctive sites within this awesome place we call home: Our Angeli Zinfandel, farmed from Angeli Ranch vineyards, a dramatic property at the entrance of a small canyon, where gravel swales connect to terraced knolls; our Game Trail Cabernet, farmed from a small block perched at 1400 ft. in a mountain ridge of the Yorkville Highlands, with coastal influences, and large diurnal shifts, which allow for the ideal balance of optimal ripeness of fruit, and retention of natural acidity; and our Gibson Block Syrah, farmed from a vineyard block in the heart of the McDowell Valley AVA, an ancient, dry-farmed mixed block next to the original Gibson Homestead, planted with some of the oldest Syrah and Grenache in California.
