Proprietor Charles Mara’s performance with these two 100% Zinfandels is exemplary. My favorite is the 2005 Zinfandel Dolinsek from Russian River. One of the vintage’s most complete and flavorful Zins, it offers up aromas of red and black fruits, underbrush, pepper, earth, and spice. This rich, full-bodied wine is an amazing achievement in this difficult vintage. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (914) 533-0292; Fax (914) 533-0293

Unbalanced, with a hot, Porty mouthfeel and medicinal, sweet-and-sour cherry flavors. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 82

The dark ruby/purple-hued 2003 Zinfandel Reserve Dolinsek Ranch (from the same vineyard, planted in 1910) offers scents of black fruits and subtle spicy wood, and a sweeter, late harvest style without the complexity and delineation of its 2002 sibling. I enjoyed it, but it comes close to being cloying. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.www.marawines.com
