    A delicate style of zinfandel that shows red berries, tobacco and leather on the nose. Lean tannin structure and a medium body. Fresh and fruity finish. Plenty of good fruit. Drink now. Synthetic cork.

  • 90

    This wine presents tremendous value, made from the producer’s own low-yielding, dry-farmed vineyards. Dusty black pepper, baking spice and leather give it a nice rusticity and character, with a touch of sandalwood and oak. Brambly blackberry rounds it out, supported by thick, firm tannins. Editors’ Choice. 

  • 90

    A structured and refined Zinfandel, with vibrant cherry, dried sage and pepper accents that build richness toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2024.

Buehler Vineyards, California
Buehler Vineyards Winery Image
John Buehler, Sr. and his son, John, began the renovation of the property that would become Buehler Vineyards in 1971. Located six miles east of St. Helena and nestled in the mountains above Conn Valley, Buehler Vineyards encompasses some 300 acres of Napa Valley hillside terrain. After a quarter of a century of growing grapes and over 20 years of winemaking from those vines, their focus remains on varietals that are best suited to this site: Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
