Zinfandel Panorama Blend Ratings

Vintage 2005:
  • 87 - Wine Spectator - May 15, 2007

    Dark berry, wild berry, and earthy cedar flavors are fresh, vibrant and lively, with nice peppery scents and long, complex finish. Drink now through 2011. 1,550 cases made. - JL

Vintage 2004:

  • A lovely wine. While it lacks the stuffing for extended aging, it is delightful to drink now. A blend of Zinfadel (76.1%), Sangiovese (6.3%), Syrah (12.8%), Petite Sirah (4.3%), and tiny dollop of Merlot (0.5%). Most of the components are sourced from Napa. Why such a tiny amount of merlot? I have no idea, but the blend works really well. Smooth and polished berry flavors with a touch of spice. I liked their 2003 release a lot, but this is a tad better. You can buy it online (and use Paypal) for about $19, which I think is cheap for a wine of this high quality. Strong buy recommendation.


    Professor Bainbridge - May 12, 2006

  • A very good value, Magito's 2004 Zinfandel offers abundant amounts of strawberry and black cherry fruit, along with a touch of green pepper herbaceousness. A blend of 76% Zinfandel, 12.8% Syrah, 6.3% Sangiovese, 4.3 % Petite Sirah, and a dollop of Merlot, this soft, round, tasty effort should be enjoyed over the next year.

    Magito 2006 Rivertrace
    Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast)
    This is quite an Interesting wine, and it
    just shows how a little creative blending can lift an ordinary wine up. The dominant Sauvignon blanc brings the usual citrus and grassy acidity, while the 8% of Viognier ands flowery perfume, and the 10% Verdelho brings more acidity, and lemongrass, green apple edge.
    “Terrific food wine”
