Critical Acclaim

95 Vinous

The 2019 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is inky, deep, and beautifully layered in the glass. A heady concoction of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, and licorice infuse 2019 with striking depth and dimension. Inky, savory, and intensely mineral-driven, the Rattlesnake Ridge is a great example of Howell Mountain, especially in this vintage. Don’t miss it.

94 Wine Spectator

A spirited red that’s both structured and generous, with black cherry, garrigue and pepper flavors that build richness and polish on the savory finish. Drink now through 2030. 1,411 cases were made.

92 Wine Advocate

The 2019 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is deep ruby-purple in color and scented with blackcurrants, tar, and graphite with a hint of apricot. Medium-bodied, the palate is grainy and approachable with mineral-laced black fruits and just enough freshness on the flavorful finish. 1,410 cases were produced.
