Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
(3/1/2024) "Straight-ahead aromas of blackberry, cedar, toast and pepper show on the nose of this kitchen sink blend of nine varieties, led by Zin, Cab Franc and Alicante Bouschet. The blackberry sauce flavors of the palate are elevated by star anise, cigar box and tobacco leaf elements."
Our Score: 90 Points
(12/2023) Another iteration of our favorite "kitchen sink" blend from Andrew Jones! Zinfandel leads the way with Cab Franc, Alicante Bouchet, Charbono, and others rounding out the blend. The 2022 Fiction is an intensely concentrated, fruit-forward wine with tons of black and blue fruit followed by smoke and spice. Firm tannins on the palate meet with blackberry, leather, menthol, and cigar box. Fiction is a total crowd-pleaser and is a great partner for your next party or barbeque!
