| Rated 93 - The high altitude mountain 2002 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Acres, a ten-acre vineyard with relatively tight spacing for Zinfandel (3 feet by 6 feet). Blackberry and blueberry, cool mountain aromas emerge from this offering, which reveals more austerity and only a medium-bodied palate compared to its siblings. Nevertheless, there is fine ripeness, excellent purity, and a claret-like delicacy and focus to this effort (15.5%). It should drink well for 5-6 years.- Robert Parker |
