A good Zinfandel, dry and a little rustic. With edgy tannins, it has berry, cherry, spice, tobacco and sandalwood flavors, with a long, sweet finish.——S.H.(7/1/2011)—— 86

A little hot and peppery, but it’s Sonoma Zin, and a chunk of grilled beef will be a great match to the heat and tannins. This drily robust wine has flavors of wild berries, cherries, bacon and Asian spices. Drink now. ——S.H.(6/1/2010)—— 89

Nice and balanced, an elegant Zin with classic flavors of wild cherries, cola, herbs and spices, with a delicate mouthfeel that finishes totally dry. A scour of dusty tannins gives it fine structure. Really notable for its silky purity.——S.H.(11/1/2007)—— 90
