The 2001 Zinfandel Cooke Vineyard (14.9% alcohol) is outstanding, a medium to full-bodied effort displaying a classic perfume of cherry, raspberry, and briery fruit as well as soil notes. Dense, with excellent purity, abundant spice, unobtrusive tannin, and a peppery finish, this long, concentrated, impressive Zinfandel will drink well for 5-7 years. Tel. (707) 938-1960

Spicy up front, with full-throttle Bing cherry flavors. The wine fans out on the finish to reveal pleasing toast, spice, cola, herb, cedar and pepper flavors, with a lingering touch of oak.——W.E.(11/1/2003)—— 88
