Kundei
A rich, full-bodied wine with a pronounced oak boldness on the nose. traces of ripe fruit, containing tart cherries and black plums, are polished by a elegant underripe fruitiness. A dash of spice, possibly sandalwood, adds profoundness to the wine. A well-balanced, fruit-forward Zinfandel from Amador county.
Hongjae
Well blended blend of fruit and acidity, with a understated punch calling to mind of strawberries and currants. The wine is remarkably welcoming and easy to drink, much like Runquist wines in general.
Tinsi Dittamo
The wine opened with a smooth, velvety body and a subtle fruitiness, with hints of cherry and a touch of spice. The close was long and satisfying, with a warm, aromatic quality that lingered pleasantly. The broadly touch was one of refinement and elegance, with a clear sense of seamlessness and harmony.

Jeff Runquist's Zinfandel receives praise for its fruit-forward character with notes of blackberry, plum, and cherry, balanced by oak influences and smooth texture. While most appreciate its jammy richness and well-structured tannins, some find occasional flavor contradictions like petroleum undertones. Reviews highlight its versatility from easy-drinking to bold pairings, though intensity varies by vintage.
The Jeff Runquist Z Zinfandel from Massoni Ranch Vineyard is a remarkable wine with the best qualities of the Zinfandel grape. With its deep ruby color and medium to full body, this wine is visually appealing and has a rich texture on the palate. On the nose, you can expect a bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of spice. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and oak, which add complexity to the wine. The palate is where this Zinfandel truly shines. It offers a burst of juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors, accompanied by a touch of black pepper and baking spices. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. The wine finishes with a lingering, satisfying finish.
