(90-92) points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is a searing, imposingly tannic, young mountain Zinfandel that doesn't look like it will be ready to drink any time soon. Acid and tannin dominate, while fruit is very much pushed to the background. Red fruit, pepper, citrus and pomegranate open with great reluctance. Drink 2025-2034 (Dec 2023)"
Private Offer: Dragon Vineyard is an estate-farmed, certified organic vineyard. Planted at 2400 feet at one of the highest points on Howell Mountain, the vineyard sits well above the fog line and faces east, first to receive the soft morning sun. These important features, along with the rocky, red volcanic soil, make for a unique, full-bodied, powerful Zinfandel. This is often Larry’s favorite since it goes with what he most likes to cook: bold, flavorful, spice-laden meats laid over an open fire. There’s a reason Howell Mountain was the first designated sub-AVA in Napa Valley: the wines from this hallowed ridge are the most distinctive in the entire region.
