"The 2016 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard is a powerful, authoritative wine. There isn't much subtlety here, but the 2016 has more than enough depth and intensity to suggest it will age well for many years. Firm tannins and bold structure add to the wine's insistent, driving personality. Wild black cherry, savory herb, olive and floral notes burst onto the big, imposing finish. I came back to the Fredericks and tasted it next to the Montecillo Cabernet (the two sites are separated by a road) and it more than held its own. There are many wines in this range that merit serious consideration. The Fredericks is one of them."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
