We are pleased to announce that our Howell Mountain Vineyards 2016 Beatty Ranch Zinfandel received a coveted 2-Puff and 91 point rating from Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine:

“Lively, well-ripened, blackberry fruit gets a nice assist here from a carefully measured complement of creamy oak, and, while the wine shows a good sense of substance and depth from front to back, it is not beholden to overblown ripeness and stays in fine fruity focus throughout. Its supple beginnings are followed by a bit of sinewy stiffness owing to its combination of evident tannin and slightly elevated acidity, but it has the pieces to age handsomely and a few years on the cork will see it through to a more polished maturity”
