A successful Zinfandel that shows its Dry Creek origins in the classic Zinfandel flavors and structure. Bone dry and not too high in alcohol, it offers a rich array of ripe grilled blackberries, blueberries, black pepper, Dr. Pepper cola and sweet, smoky sandalwood, wrapped into thick, fine tannins.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 92

With the silky mouthfeel of a nice Pinot Noir, and fine varietal character, this is a French-style Zin. It’s dry and balanced, with pleasant cherry cola and spice flavors that are fairly complex, though light. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 85
