Here is what the wine critics are saying about Cedarville Vineyard 2001 Zinfandel:

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, October 31, 2003
"Their well-made 2001 Zinfandel offers a dark ruby color, plenty of berry fruit, nice spiciness, and a touch of oak in a medium-bodied format. It will provide satisfying drinking over the next 1-2 years. 87 points."

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines, September 2003
"This big, bold mouthfilling wine wants for nothing in the way of scale and richness. Its bold style will certainly find plenty of fans"

Wine & Spirits Magazine, October 2003
"A peppery red wine with blackberry flavors that last, this is balanced and fresh for everyday drinking"

Laurie Daniel, San Jose Mercury News, February 5, 2003
