92 POINTS, JEB DUNNUCK:
The 2021 Zinfandel Paper Street Vineyard is a clear step up, with another level of density and concentration. Ripe red and blue fruits, candied violet, orange blossom, and spicy, subtle cigar smoke-like notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a plush, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This classic, pleasure-bent Zinfandel will keep for a decade if well stored.
