95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Zinfandel-dominated 2018 Problem Child includes 20% Syrah and tiny amounts of Carignan and Graciano and spent 15 months in 25% new French and American oak. Inky colored with powerful notes of black and blue fruits, sappy herbs, smoked game, and ground pepper, it hits the palate with a lush, full-bodied, sexy texture that carries light tannins and brilliant length. (Sep 2020)"
Producer notes: "70% Zinfnadel, 20% Syrah, 5% Carignan, 5% Graciano. As usual, the bold audacity of Zinfandel is tamed by skillful blending with Syrah, Carignan, and Graciano. It’s like obedience school for the Problem Child, each grape helps develop the wine into a knowledgeable smart ass that will test the boundaries. The rich and bold wine elicits flavors of cranberries, raspberries, orange peel and cinnamon. There’s a wonderful mouthfeel that hints to memories of gram cracker dust, toast and blueberry jam. Delicious today or consume over the next 5-7 years."
