James Suckling, 92 Points

“This is a classic California zinfandel with a warm, ripe-fruit character and intriguing nuances of wild sage, blackberries and sun-baked earth. Moderate tannins and supportive acidity keep it fresh and linear, and bode well for further aging. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.“

Wine Advocate, 91 Points

“Storybook Mountain’s 2021 Zinfandel Mayacamas Range spent a year in a mix of French and American oak (30% new American). While not overly concentrated, the fruit handles the oak well, as the nose reveals airy scents of ripe cherries and hints of stone fruit and crushed stone. Medium- to full-bodied, this is silky in feel, framed by fine-grained tannins and elegant, with ample length on the finish.”

Winemaker Notes:

“Black cherry, berries, hints of cola, and minerals joined by a touch of cardamom and vanilla are in the aromatics of this wine. Focused cherry liquor and refined tannins are at the core of its flavor and structure, a central core of intensity that lingers on and on. Balanced and intense, the wine will complement heartier dishes but has the refinement to be an increasingly graceful table companion for many years to come.”
