Winery review: "A stunning wine made from Gallo’s holdings in Sonoma, Dry Creek and Lodi, this 2012 Zinfandel Heritage Vines (100% varietal) tips the scales at 15.26% alcohol. Displaying lots of pepper as well as full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal intensity, briery, berry fruit and a big, juicy, succulent mouthfeel and finish, this $15 Zinfandel offers a lot of wine and considerable flavor as well as authority. It is a sensational bargain." 90 Points - Robert Parker

My review: Absolutely awesome! The nose of this wine smelled of black pepper, black currant, and black cherries. It tasted like black and white pepper, with hints of plum and bell pepper with a well rounded tannic finish.
