The 2010 Zinfandel is an attractive, straightforward wine with good varietal character and nuance. Ideally, it is best enjoyed over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. Tel. (510) 452-1800

With a little Petite Sirah and Carignane blended in for depth and complexity, this is a nice Zinfandel for everyday drinking. It’s dry and full-bodied, and while the tannins are strong, they're perfect for busting up rich barbecue. Shows all the fruity spiciness you expect from a lusty Zin. ——S.H.(10/1/2011)—— 87
