95 points Steven Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(from a vineyard planted on alkaline soil in 1885): Good deep red. Knockout aromas and flavors of black and red fruits, garrigue , minerals and high-pitched spices, along with an impression of medicinal reserve. Wonderfully layered and intense, showing outstanding cut and peppery lift to the middle palate. Offers an uncanny combination of acid lift and breadth, finishing with resounding juicy length. As in recent years, this is one of the handful of elite zinfandels of the vintage. The numbers here are shocking: 16.4% alcohol, 7.1 grams per liter of acidity and a pH of 3.40. (May/Jun 2014)"
93-95 points Robert Parker: "Even better is the 2012 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard, which may be their oldest Zinfandel vineyard as it was planted in 1885. This cuvee tends to be higher in acidity, but it is also powerful and packed with beautiful black and red fruits intermixed with a hint of crushed chalk. This full Zinfandel has the potential to last over a decade. (12/29/13)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard comes across as a bit light in this vintage. Sweet dark cherries, spices, leather and menthol meld together in a pretty, supple Zinfandel to drink now and over the next few years. This old-vine site first planted in 1885 usually gives wines that are quite broad and rich. The 2012 is attractive, although it captures only a portion of the vineyard's potential. Drink: 2014-2024. (Dec 2014)"
