Anachronism, Rutherford – Napa Valley (California) Zinfandel 2020 ($47)

Jan 29, 2025

By Rich Cook
Wine label

Here is a deeply extracted, sassy style of Zinfandel that is nicely reined in by careful barrel selection. The oak load is well matched to the ripeness level, adding a little spice and a little toast without interfering with the brambly black fruit character. There is some heat to be sure, but that will just endear it to the true Zin believers. Nicely realized wine.
